[cc to standards@xmpp.org since it is of interest to the xmpp ecosystem] I've uploaded draft-ietf-kitten-sasl-ht-01. The major changes since the adoption by the Kitten WG are - the introduction of a response status byte to indicate success or failure responses - the capability to transmit authenticated key/value pairs in the exchanged messages (e.g., for XEP-0474 [1]) SASL-HT is already deployed using an older and incompatible version of the I-D in some parts of the XMPP ecosystem. Therefore, we probably need to adjust the SASL Mechanism Name to avoid interoperability issues. For example, from HT-SHA-512-ENDP to HT2-SHA-512-ENDP Please forgive my lack of creativity regarding the new name. Suggestions on a more creative naming schema that is in-line with the constraints of SASL Mechanism names are appreciated. And, of course, feedback in general is welcomed. - Florian 1: https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0474.html
