Title: Extensible Status Conditions for Multi-User Chat
Abstract: This document defines an extensible format for status
conditions in Multi-User Chat, similar to the error format used in
the core of XMPP.
I am in favour of the adoption of this XEP by the XSF, and will
likely implement as soon as this is sufficiently stable. (Or sooner).
A few comments, none of which should be construed as being ultimata.
1) I don't think the new elements need to have a 1:1 mapping with
status codes, and the way in which the registrar considerations is
phrased implies this to be the case. I think we want a new registry,
which includes "related status codes".
2) We also need to consider that many clients only handle one status
code. This means that even if there are multiple defined conditions,
all the status codes possible may not be present. In some XEP,
somewhere, a discussion on which status code to pick when there are
multiple applicable would be useful.
3) I'd like application-specific elements to be possible within the
defined conditions as well. This is to encourage implementors to
specialize, rather than replace, conditions.
Dave.
