[Social] [Fwd: [Standards] Proposed XMPP Extension: Auto-Discovery of JabberIDs]

[David Banes]

Just a note that maybe;

should mention privacy and identity theft, this would be one more  
piece of personal information available on the net for bots to grab  
when scanning social networking sites.

Maybe there should be a recommendation to encode the address?

David.
