I think it would be fine to drop a note in saying that ’66 isn’t required by the suite, but that it is sometimes used and worth looking at, or something. >> I think 286 (LTE mobile) is worth a mention, but how would one be >> compliant with it as a client or server? > > By having the author read 286 ;-) I think a note to that effect is worthwhile. >> I note that while requiring TLS is right, I suspect very few, if any, >> implementations follow 7590 (and by extension 7525).

Strict may not be explicitly defined, but the dynamic that you need to prefer it over is defined to include STARTTLS. So I do read it as saying that you need to prefer direct TLS to STARTTLS where a protocol allows it (which we do these days). This was, though, just a note and I’m not pushing for a text change. >> My only note on this is that I think the introduction to “Future >> Development” isn’t right - these are protocols that aren’t ready to be >> required by the compliance suite, rather than not ready for production >> use. > > I've updated the text accordingly; a rendered version of your and other > LC responses can be found at https://op-co.de/tmp/xep-0423.html Thanks. /K _______________________________________________ Standards mailing list Info: https://mail.jabber.org/mailman/listinfo/standards Unsubscribe: standards-unsubscr...@xmpp.org _______________________________________________
