I can't speak for the rest of the team, but I can say that moving forward I think we are on the brink of having a full fledged slashdot story ready 1.0.  This is mainly do to the outgoing attitude of some of the newer members.  PLEASE keep up the good work.

I'm betting slashdot affect. ;) There was an "Ask Slashdot" about Jabber a
bit ago.

I would focus on the "must accept." I'm fine with accepting UTF-8 and
UTF-16, however (and this is the reason they included a standard for passing
encoding) we should also be able to handle internationalization. As the
example was given, what would the Korean Jabber user think? Answer: they
wouldn't use Jabber...
