[Standards] Re: Proposed XMPP Extension: XMPP Decentralized ID (XID)

Hi, Sorry for the late answer. Le mardi 9 juin 2026, 17:29:38 heure d’été d’Europe centrale snit via Standards a écrit : here), but I would really prefer the term XDID over XID. various reasons, and it'd be annoying to assign an unrelated but similar meaning to the term at the same time. the existing XID/JIDs: decentralisation. Why pretend the most important part doesn't matter? XDID is "uglier" than XID. I don't think we should be prioritising aesthetic over meaningful and unambiguous terminology. The actual response was to ask if "XID" was used in any spec or if there are proof that it's widely used (and this has not been answered as far as I can tell). The official acronym for XMPP identifier is `JID` for historical reasons. XDID would actually be confusing with https://www.w3.org/TR/did-1.0/ that was mentioned elsewhere in this thread. "Ugly" is not prioritizing aesthetic: if humans have to share this ID, a user- friendly name is better. However, I'm not fully opposed to change the name, but I find "XID" quite good, and I don't recall seeing it used instead of "JID" (I sometime see the larger form "XMPP ID"). We can see during experimental phase if it is really confusing and causing troubles, in which case another names will be explored. Best, Goffi
