My summary is roughly that there’s stuff in the mentions spec it makes sense to talk
about, but it also makes sense to use the references format for the reference part.
/K
I guess the idea is to not update or base on
references and instead make a
whole new element for this? Given our move away from fastening and other
generic base XEPs this is maybe a fine idea.
I think that I've missed the summit discussion on mention because I was sick
and left early. Probably some discussions also happened on xsf@ room, but it's
hard for me to follow there.
So it seems that we are ditching XEP-0372: References, can somebody explain to
me the rationale for that?
XEP-0372 was already specifying a kind of mention, but not as powerful as the
spec proposed here, however I want to understand why we would want to have 2
specs for the same thing.
I would love also to have the thoughts of Kevin here, as he is the author of
XEP-0372.
