I've just pushed a patch to XEP-0288 which makes it mandatory for
XEP-0288 implementations using XEP-0220 signalling to also support
dialback errors.
In addition, though, Fippo and I were discussing an alternative which
we quite like, but it's not clear it needed.
The current specification works by the receiver advertising <bidi/>,
and the sender indicating it use by sending a <bidi/> element.
What we discussed was that instead of the latter indication, the
<bidi/> stream feature would indicate a willingness to handle stream
features from the sender - so the sender would then send stream
features (which MUST contain a <bidi/>, or else would imply the same).
What this would gives us would be a more flexible base, but it does
incur a little extra complexity, so neither of us is sure - so I
thought I'd float the idea here.
Any comments?
Dave.
