The XMPP Extensions Editor has received a proposal for a new XEP.
Title: Initial Authentication Pipelining
Abstract:
This specification defines a protocol for discovering if the SASL2
<authenticate> can be pipelined safely along with the stream open, and
if so allows the client to perform this pipelining safely.

The Council will decide in the next two weeks whether to accept this
proposal as an official XEP.
