I have a comment about XEP-0276.   "Total Conversation", specified in
ITU-T F.703 Multimedia Conversational Services, a standard used by
Reach112 (www.reach112.eu) used in real European emergency service
trials, specifies the simultaneous combination of audio, video, and
real-time text.

This is SIP-based real time text, and I envision potential
interoperability use cases for audio-video-RTT transcoding, via
gateways.  This is where XEP-0276 potentially comes in useful for
these European systems, seeing that XEP-0276 is the first XMPP
extension that mentions my XEP-0301 standard.

I want to comment that XEP-0276 only allows mentioning "media" or
"text" as the reason, and not both.  XEP-0276 needs to be updated to
permit a single mechanism activating all three features simultaneously
(audio, video, real-time text).   This might be complicated by using
separate, concurrent negotiation mechanisms for out-of-band mechanisms
(audio, video) and in-band mechanisms (RTT).   Even several of you
agreed that Jingle is overkill for RTT.  It's assumed that clients
could detect multiple authentication mechanisms that happens within a
short period of time to each other, and an implementation can merge
them into a single confirmation message, for potential future
XMPP-based "Total Conversation"-compliant software clients.

Thanks
