This message constitutes notice of a Last Call for comments on
XEP-0424.

Title: Message Retraction
Abstract:
This specification defines a method for indicating that a message
should be retracted.

URL: https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0424.html

This Last Call begins today and shall end at the close of business on
2026-07-20.

Please consider the following questions during this Last Call and send
your feedback to the standards@xmpp.org discussion list:

1. Is this specification needed to fill gaps in the XMPP protocol
stack or to clarify an existing protocol?


Yes. Though I would very likely implement the client UX by showing the original message in strikethrough, rather than actually removing it, I think the clear semantic is better than LMC performing the same edit.
 
2. Does the specification solve the problem stated in the introduction
and requirements?


Seems to.
 
3. Do you plan to implement this specification in your code? If not,
why not?


I have no immediate plans, but would implement it if I saw it in use, or if users wanted it.
 
4. Do you have any security concerns related to this specification?


Nope
 
5. Is the specification accurate and clearly written?


Yup.
 
Your feedback is appreciated!
