Yes, you (and Daniel) are obviously right here…for messages. I’m not sure if it matters whether it’s server or bareJID stamped here, though. At least one train of thought is that this is a delay very much like offline message, so stamping consistently makes sense. > Presence, mind, I'm not so sold on - I think it's significantly less > important, since presence is stateful rather than an event.

I think not stamping presence makes a lot of sense, unless there’s a use case for this that I’ve similarly missed. /K _______________________________________________ Standards mailing list Info: https://mail.jabber.org/mailman/listinfo/standards Unsubscribe: [email protected] _______________________________________________
