Hi,

I have some new found interest in Instant Stream Resumption and after
reading the XEP again I find myself agreeing with a lot of what Dave
said 4.5 years ago especially with regard to decoupling the HT-*
family of authentication from ISR itself. One might argue that more
XEPs means more complexity but to the contrary I think it would
actually reduce complexity because one could - theoretically -
implement ISR with PLAIN and then not having to worry about HT-* and
channel binding. (Don’t get me wrong I like channel binding and I like
HT-* but if one is in the market for some quick and easy stream
resumption being able to do it with PLAIN would help a lot.)

What Dave outlined in his comment to §4 seems sensible enough to me?!

Minor stuff: I’m also agreeing with the feedback on location and
compression. However the above (allowing multiple SASL mechanisms) is
the urgent one for me right now.

cheers
Daniel
