Let's see:
- Automatic history synchronization between multiple clients.
I'm not a client developer but it should work for that.
- Calendar-based on-demand display of historic messages in a client
that doesn’t keep local history.
It would be expensive if you want to show which days in the calendar has
messages, but otherwise workable.
- So-called ‘infinite’ scrollback, whereby a client automatically
fetches and displays historical messages naturally in the message
log as the user scrolls back in time.
For the longest time, I believed this part was the primary use case, and
I believe it fulfills this part.

I have written both server and client library implementations. It may
however not be completely up to date.

No.

It might be more to do with me, but every time I read through it I find
new text that I don't remember seeing before.
I also think that the way preferences are returned seems inconsistent
with the rest of XMPP.
