Title: Payment Required
Abstract:
This specification defines an XMPP protocol extension that enables
services to require payment before granting access to a resource. It
provides a payment-system neutral invoice format supporting multiple
concurrent payment options, including bank transfers (SEPA, IBAN, UPI)
and instant-settlement networks (Lightning Network), and integrates
with the existing CAPTCHA challenge mechanism defined in XEP-0158.

Version 1.35.4 of XEP-0045 (Multi-User Chat) has been released.
Abstract:
This specification defines an XMPP protocol extension for multi-user
text chat, whereby multiple XMPP users can exchange messages in the
context of a room or channel, similar to Internet Relay Chat (IRC). In
addition to standard chatroom features such as room topics and
invitations, the protocol defines a strong room control model,
including the ability to kick and ban users, to name room moderators
and administrators, to require membership or passwords in order to
join the room, etc.
Changelog:
* Add clarification how to unset a reserved nickname when modifying
the member list.
* Split passage which defines how to modify the member list into
multiple sentences to improve readability. (ph)

It seems to me that XEP-0077 is not RFC compliant in section 3.3
specifically it says:
> In order to require additional information before changing the password,
> the server or service SHOULD return a Data Form in the error stanza:
However https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc6120#section-8.2.3 says:
> An IQ stanza of type "error" MAY include the child element
> contained in the associated "get" or "set" and MUST include an
> <error/> child
That is to say, it may not contain any child other than an <error/> child
and possibly an echo of the request.
Now, one could imagine a syntax for embedding a data form in an <error/> but
this is not what XEP-0077 describes.
Has anyone implemented this part of XEP-0077 in practise? If I return the
error with this form will anyone respect it? Do we need to care that this is
not RFC compliant or can we squint and say that it's a sort-of echo of the
request but with more fields to fill out...
Hi folks,
I'm curious if anyone has thoughts on being able to undo a XEP-0425
moderation action.
The use cases I have in mind are:
- admin accidentally moderated the wrong message
- one admin moderates a message, but after consideration/discussion
with other admins, it is decided it shouldn't have been moderated
- reverting automated moderation after human review
This last point is the one that sparked this email, however I have
experienced the other cases as well over the past couple of years.
For the automated case, all I necessarily want is for clients to hide
(by default) messages in a group chat which are likely to be spam, for
example if some trusted but non-admin users have reported it. When an
admin does respond, they could then moderate the message fully, or
unhide it (if the report was incorrect, e.g. malicious).
This hiding/unhiding could be a new XEP, or we could solve
"unmoderation", which solves the other use cases and probably makes
the most sense.
Thoughts?
Regards,
Matthew
