I disagree.
1. There is no mention in XEP-0308 of retracting messages or the potential
implications of doing so. Simply removing the text is a hack and not mentioned
in XEP-0308 AFAIK.
2. The semantics are different. Retractions are not corrections. For example,
in Converse, we show previous versions of a corrected message, which we don't
for retracted messages. Servers may choose (and some do) to deal differently
with retracted messages versus corrected ones.
3. XEP-0308 only specifies correcting the last element, this one allows you to
retract older ones as well.
4. This XEP mentions tombstones, which XEP-0308 doesn't and there is no need
for them in XEP-0308, so logically, just based on that last point, this XEP
isn't a subset.
