This was discussed in July 2018 and, I guess, moved nowhere, but I'll raise
the issue once again. Any decent messenger bar XMPP based ones have
capabilities to signal type of user activity beyond just "composing a
message", but also "recording voice message", "recording video message",
"uploading file", ....

We NEED that in our clients, and, subsequently, we'd prefer it to be an
XMPP standard.

So far we've extended XEP-0085 by adding a "type" attribute to <composing>
element:
<message
   from='[email protected]/pda'
   to='[email protected]/elsinore'
   type='chat'>
<composing type='audio' xmlns='http://jabber.org/protocol/chatstates'/>
</message>

Works OK by us and it does not break any clients with XEP-0085 that we know
of.

However, last time when this matter was raised, there were objections that
0085 is 'final' and therefore we can't change anything because of reasons
and was essentially discarded. Hope this time it'll be different.
