[Standards] Re: compliance levels for 2008

[Fletcher, Boyd C. CIV US USJFCOM JFL J9935]

if the intermediate client spec requires XEP-45 then shouldn't we have an
intermediate server spec that does?

also if we are recommending XEP-78 then it might be a good idea to add it
back to the list of extensions though I am curious why we would want to
recommend a deprecated XEP.
