157 clearly isn’t exactly right for this, but it seems ‘close enough’ that it’d probably be pragmatic to use it. I’d suggest registering a new field, describing the semantics and using it in 157. We could also do not-quite-157 by specifying a similar form extension under a different namespace but … I don’t see a great advantage (or any great disadvantage either, really - it’s not going to be much harder for servers or clients one way or the other, I think. /K _______________________________________________ Standards mailing list Info: https://mail.jabber.org/mailman/listinfo/standards Unsubscribe: [email protected] _______________________________________________
