- It's not generic; it's only for blogging.
Retracting items after a delay
should be a generic feature.
I think it's only for media, blogging isn't allowed.
Though I agree with what was said in council that multiple media should be
allowed to do "slideshow" style stories.
- The delay is vague and should be specified. Ideally,
it should be possible to
customize the delay, with a reasonable value set by default.
- The retraction is done by the client, which is my major concern: if the
client doesn't connect (or connects much later), items won't be retracted. The
retraction should be handled by the Pubsub service.
I think all mention of retraction could be removed. It's not the point of
the XEP and I think it distracts from the purpose. If clients want to hide
after eg 24 hours that's up to them and their UX desires.
