Snarky comment aside, I agree that *in certain circumstances* and *for certain communities*, real-time text (and, for that matter, chat state notifications) might be useful in a chatroom. However, I think we need to carefully consider when it is useful and when it is not. (I would sometimes find chat state notifications useful, e.g. during a meeting of the XMPP Council when I really care whether one of the Council members is about to post a message to the room. Right now I can't think of a time when I would want real-time text in a chatroom, but I can envision that deaf people might think differently.) Peter -- Peter Saint-Andre https://stpeter.im/
