The XMPP Extensions Editor has received a proposal for
a new XEP.
Title: Link Metadata
Abstract:
This specification describes how to attach metadata for links to a
message.
URL: https://xmpp.org/extensions/inbox/link-metadata.html
The Council will decide in the next two weeks whether to accept this
proposal as an official XEP.

Hello,
Thanks for this proposal, I like it and was hopping for something like that
for a while.
2 remarks:
- "his metadata is commonly generated from the resource that can be retreived
from the resource that can be found at the IRI," ==> it seems that there is an
error in this sentence, the repetition of "generated/retreived from the
resource". Also there is a typo, it's "retrieved".
- the main issue I see with this proposal is that the sender can send fake
preview for malicious website, like sending a link to "evil.example.com" and
the preview say "it's kitties pictures". I don't think that this can
really be
avoided, but a mention of that in security considerations would be good. Maybe
the receiving client should show a small warning about that?
With my council hat, I'm +1 on it.
Best,
Goffi
