Hi Matt,
Thanks for reviving this thing. It was indeed pretty outdated.
Openfire has an implementation too, although I'm not aware if it was ever
tested against other servers.
Should we consider introducing a change to the namespace as used in the
portable data, to more explicitly handle the changes in format? I'm aware
that you mainly introduced new elements, and the one attribute that you
dropped ('password') is defined as a 'should' - but still: the output is
significantly different. Given the nature of the protocol, it is not
unthinkable that data exported by an implementation following the older XEP
version gets imported by one of a newer version, and vice versa - perhaps
with plenty of time between import and export (eg: backup restores).
Why is the chronological order of messages in an archive defined as a MUST?
Does that attempt to safeguard against messages not having a timestamp?
Kind regards,
Guus
