This seems
backwards to me. SFS is just a shallow clone of SIMS but with
less namespace reuse after all. Why would we lend legitimacy to something
like that?
Are you sure you are talking about the same XEP here?
XEP-0447 says in its introduction:
Especially using the file metadata element seems like a better namespace reuse
to me, no? It also is generic and can be used for all types of
file, not just for
media.
So can SIMS. The M in SIMS may stand for "media" but this is as in "medir
type" aka all files.
