The XMPP Extensions Editor has received a proposal for
a new XEP.
Title: Message Displayed Synchronization
Abstract:
This specification allows multiple clients of the same user to
synchronize the displayed state of their chats.
URL: https://xmpp.org/extensions/inbox/xep-mds.html
The Council will decide in the next two weeks whether to accept this
proposal as an official XEP.
I would like to point out two things in regards to this specification:
- Server assist should specify exactly when the modification of the <message/>
stanza happens. In particular, the interaction with MAM, Carbons and
potentially IM-NG should be spelled out (i.e.: is the <displayed
xmlns="..mds.."/> part of the archive and/or the carbons reflection?).
- Server assist could be extended to make the server discard the message iff
the <displayed xmlns="..mds.."/> element is the only content in that
message.
That way, server assist could also be used with non-contacts or similar
situations.
Thanks for the spec!
kind regards,
Jonas
