Good day!
I am working on Rivista[1], which is a journal publisher for XMPP.
I test instances of Libervia and Movim against Rivista.
Most of the tests are conducted against the official instance of Movim.
The matter of this message is concerning to Adding a Comment[2] (clause
3.2 to XEP-0277).
I have noticed that "reactions" are manifested exactly the same as
comments, inside element title.
The couple of indications that a comment is a reaction are:
1) Element title has a single character; or
2) The character or character combination is included in the range of
characters that are dedicated for reactions.
I would suggest to use a classifier.
1) Use element title as a classifier of post type, either a comment or
a reaction, and use element summary as a handler for the comment
itself; or
2) Use element category (e.g. xmpp:comment and xmpp:reaction); or
3) Utilize "Extension Elements" (clause 6.4 to RFC 4287).
I think that solution #3 would be the ideal solution.
