Note: Precedent on image embeds exists -- an example image is embedded into XHTML-IM (XEP-0071).

For now, I have switched it to realtimetext.org in the already-published v0.6, but an embed (found in certain XEP's) would be even more preferable, though it obviously would have to be very small and very generic, which probably requires it to be hand-made or a special RealJabber mod. Examples animations I have already made, which are probably not suitable, but useful to see: 1. My animation of key press intervals http://www.realjabber.org/anim/real_time_text_demo.html - too big - too non-generic 2. Facebook-style concept animation http://www.realjabber.org/anim/facebook_chat_concept.gif - closer to correct size - but too non-generic 3. The animation on cover page http://www.realjabber.org - still too non-generic - this was my first animation ever So, that means: As I will have to hand-make a genericization (something suitable even for a Wikipedia page, for the 'real-time text' entry)... ...If no other people at XSF objects technically to an image embed, what are the recommended criteria for an image embed in XEP-0301 demoing generic real time text: - minimal GUI elements (OS neutral) - small size - romeo/juliet names (recommended) - no cuecard introduction frame - compatible open source imagery only Mark Rejhon
