This specification is primarily intended for, and used for, the purpose of
transferring a file from one user to another.

In practise, the clients upload a file, thereby obtaining a URL, and pass
that URL somehow to the other party.

My question - and it is a question -  is whether we ought to be advancing
this specification when its usage is contingent on the proper definition of
that "somehow".

I can see arguments both ways - this can be used independently, after all,
but it's primary use is as part of the "complete breakfast" of file
transfer. Advancing something to Final which is habitually only used with a
somewhat undocumented use of OOB (XEP-0066) feels a bit wrong, but there's
technically nothing incorrect by process in doing so.

So what do we feel as a group?

Dave.
