Hi, I'm a user of XMPP and have very mixed experiences with different clients.
There are clients that do very well and implement a lot of availabe XEPs, but other clients only implement a fraction of available XEPs. The XEPs are optional, if I get it right, but the user experience varies a lot with dfferent set of XEPs. I found it difficult to get a list of supported XEPs by client and it is time consuming to understand what XEPs are for what feature. So a propasal I have is to do releases (of the standard). A release contains a set of new (final) XEPs and a list of obsolete XEPs and all clients and servers that support XMPP version X have to implement this XEPs. That would allow users to see, what a client is capable of. That would also allow client to show a message to there users about the client on the other end does not support XMPP version X and so there are some features that are not supported. Or show a message in a client if the server does not support a current version. This also adds the abbility to generate some easy press coverage about the state of XMPP. Cheers, Gerion
