I'd like to note that we previously explicitly decided[1] that requiring a common channel-binding type would increase security. And that type had to be tls-server-end-point, as it is generally available. That is why the XEP currently says that servers MUST support tls-server-end-point.

And now I also have the link to the thread with the motivation that there should be at least one common cb type:

Note that a probably relevant remark from Dave is that mandatory-to-implement does not automatically imply mandatory-to-deploy. :)
