Maybe one day we'll have virtually unlimited bandwidth everywhere...  but 
that's simply not the case today and likely won't be the universally case for 
many decades (if ever).

I note that both of these are examples of XMPP extensions already being 
actively blocked by some XMPP network operators.   I rather not add 
stanza-level encryption to the list of XMPP extensions likely to be blocked by 
XMPP network operators with limited bandwidth.

That aside, stanza-level encryption + RTT will not have a marginal increase of 
bandwidth over stanza-level encryption of basic IM.

Regarding accessibility issues, I would welcome an XEP which discussed 
accessibility issues in XMPP, especially core services such as IM and presence. 
 I'd also welcome addition of an "Accessible Considerations" section to this 
and other XEPs detailing protocol extensions.
