Dave, Thanks for the quick response! The intention is indeed to provide a geoloc or places blob inside forms. We have also checked Buddycloud and its API (e.g. http://buddycloud.com/cms/node/103) but are looking for a solution that is XMPP standard compliant.
I'll come back with a XEP when this idea has materialized ;-) Thanks, Michael On Thu, Jan 26, 2012 at 11:12 PM, Dave Cridland <[email protected]> wrote: > On Thu Jan 26 21:58:04 2012, Michael Laukner wrote: >> >> Is the following approach already XMPP standards compliant (i.a.w. >> XEP-0068: Field Standardization for Data Forms): >> >> <x xmlns='jabber:x:data' type='form'> >> [ ... ] >> <field var='location'> >> <geolocxmlns="http://jabber.org/protocol/geoloc";> >> <text>Paris, France</text> >> <locality>Paris</locality> >> <country>France</country> >> </geoloc> >> </field> >> [ ... ] >> </x> >> >> or does this require a new XEP similar to XEP-0221 ? > > > I don't think this is currently compliant (with any specification in > particular). > > XEP-0221 essentially provides ways of providing media data in a form as a > challenge, rather than as a response - or at least, that's certainly how > it's used in XEP-0158.
