Technically, yes. *Personally*, I don't feel strongly about this because none of my implementations would break. However there are several implementations of XMPP which actually depend somewhat on the schema of a namespace remaining stable, and would reject elements that don't conform to the schema. That schemas don't change is something we reinforced as a community years ago when we adopted the practice of namespace versioning. > At least on apple there is something called focus mode that automatically > silences every notification, but allows apps to break through focus mode. > Maybe we should add another hint for urgent messages as well, that can be used > by clients to break focus mode, aka: > <urgent xmlns='urn:xmpp:hints'/> As Philipp pointed out, this is definitely XEP-0224 which is already implemented in a number of clients. Interestingly this new proposal is essentially the opposite of XEP-0224 (a missed opportunity to include it in that spec, too - as some kind of urgency=high/low).
