[Standards] Re: Proposed XMPP Extension: Jingle Remote Control

URL: https://xmpp.org/extensions/inbox/remote-control.html

I'm unclear on the benefits of this CBOR-over-Jingle approach vs a XML-based <message>-based approach? Unlike audio/video this data is tiny and does not benefit nearly as much from direct transmission or binary packing. If something over Jingle *is* desired, I'm a bit uncomfortable with specifying bespoke binary protocols in XEPs. Jingle can of course be used to send any data of any protocol and so any existing or future remote-control protocol can be used over Jingle. Do we really need something XMPP-specific for this purpose?
