A short "official" feedback, Daniel also will be contributing more details and we have started direct discussions with the authors.

Is this specification needed to fill gaps in the XMPP protocol stack > or to clarify an existing protocol? To my opinion yes. The most critizied point on XMPP is always that used string-based XML representation is inefficient. EXI offers an efficient binary representation of the information while still enabling a 1:1 translation between textual XML and EXI. Apart from reducing the wire load, it also is far more efficient to serialize&parse (due to binary structuring and native types and instead of string representations) Thus, it offers protocol enhancements for every application where performance & bandwidth is an issue - and that is not just IoT. > 2. Does the specification solve the problem stated in the introduction > and requirements? Yes. > 3. Do you plan to implement this specification in your code? If not, > why not? We are aware of several efforts to implement the XEP and we are currently in discussions how to join them. > 4. Do you have any security concerns related to this specification? None right now. > 5. Is the specification accurate and clearly written? We support the comments on the mailing list. Best Regards, Johannes
