The XMPP Extensions Editor has received a proposal for a new XEP.

Title: Message Processing Hints

Abstract: This document defines a way to include hints to entities
routing or receiving a message.

URL: http://xmpp.org/extensions/inbox/message-processing-hints.html

The XMPP Council will decide in the next two weeks whether to accept
this proposal as an official XEP.



I think this is a good startpoint for a needed XEP.

A couple of things.

First, its hints are purely negative; I think we should have positive
versions of many, possibly all, hints.

This implies that we need to have things like <storage
xmlns='urn:xmpp:hints' hint='1'/> to indicate that the message is
(positively) useful to store. (I'm suggesting we have a hint attribute
giving positive or negative hinting, rather than elements prefixed
with "no-").

Secondly, the XEP is curiously worded -  there's at least one case of
"In order to prevent […]" - hints cannot prevent, they can merely
advise against (or advise that they're useless).

Dave.
