I don't see this as a "commonly held belief". If you know how Web works, you would never assume XMPP is slow. I don't remember anyone complaining in my bugtracker about slow RTT. To put it simply: I agree there can be use cases when you absolutely need to work in a slow network (sending stanzas to the Moon and back, as an example), and maybe there are indeed some problems with RTTs. But I see this as a very narrow use case. So I would agree that the XEP will be used by *some* software, and I'm fine with that. What bothers me is that this may become a trend, seeing the XEP as a successor to the "standard" approach, and even be put into "compliance suite". _______________________________________________ Standards mailing list Info: https://mail.jabber.org/mailman/listinfo/standards Unsubscribe: [email protected] _______________________________________________
