Something has come up so I can't attend. Here is my list of comments and
votes though:

I am currently unable to plan ahead for more than a day, but I will try to attend
as usual.

Slight oversight indeed.

I think it would be good to have a document holding the requirements for
shared editing in general. The Python people seem to use their PEP system
for that, too, and I think it is a nice process.

I don't know what this gains us, except for some perceived beautification of
namespace names. They are not required to be a URI/URN. Breaking existing
deployments (especially LLuna for example) doesn't seem a good thing to me.

I we are going to change stuff beyond that, I'd be more inclined to make it
consistent with our current naming policy.

I'd like to move extended presence stuff forward, but I don't think we can do
that before XEP-0060 itself. I think 6 months may be a bit short on moving
PEP and friends further. I want good field experience, and for XEP-0060 itself,
especially in the more rare use cases (subscription ids and configs, stuff
like that).

Good idea.

As stated last time, I will run again.
