URL:https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0424.html
This Last Call begins today and shall end at the close of business on
2026-07-20.
Please consider the following questions during this Last Call and send
your feedback to thestandards(a)xmpp.org discussion list:
Disclosure, I'm one of the authors of the XEP.
1. Is this specification needed to fill gaps in the
XMPP protocol
stack or to clarify an existing protocol?
Yes. Even if retractions cannot be guaranteed in an open, federated
network, they do still indicate intent.
And in closed deployments they can be fully implemented and enforced.
2. Does the specification solve the problem stated in
the introduction
and requirements?
Yes
3. Do you plan to implement this specification in your
code? If not,
why not?
I've implemented it in Converse.
4. Do you have any security concerns related to this
specification?
Nothing beyond what's documented already.
5. Is the specification accurate and clearly written?
Yes.
