As far as I can see, the earlier feedback regarding this spec has not
yet been addressed. In particular the following issues:

1. Registering a translation provider with a server

http://mail.jabber.org/pipermail/standards/2006-October/012579.html

I agree with Ralph Meijer that this can be done via entity capabilities
(XEP-0115):

But it would be good for the spec to say that explicitly.

And see also:

2. Server-requested translation

http://mail.jabber.org/pipermail/standards/2006-October/012580.html

I think that one aspect of Chris's feedback is handled by the switch to
use of IQs, but not all aspects.

What do the authors of XEP-0171 think about these issues?

I'll try to complete my own detailed review soon.
