The Council talked about moving a couple of stable

been modified for years to "Final".
As this process has not been done for a long time, we want to first try
with XEP-0066 (Out of Band Data).
Thanks for picking this one up.
Please not that dwd suggested to get rid of section 6
first (XEP-0095
being deprecated).
My argument for removal of section 6 is both that the specifications it
references are deprecated (we don't have rules about this unlike the IETF's
"downref" rules, but it seems sensible) but in addition the section is
non-normative and a "well we could do this if we wanted" which feels like
Experimental.
