The three core stats are just that "core" stats. they were choosen as being the ones
that most people would/want need to do a quick check of their server/component. By limiting
the core stats to the three <who/>, <uptime/> and <traffic/> that MUST be supported by a server
/component we make complience and support of the namespace less of a burden.

I'm not sure what you mean by being limited as the mechanism for extending the namespace
as a component sees fit is described even in the non updated draft.
    
>although I would change the implemenation to use iq:rpc.
    
personally I would prefer iq:stats to remain a seperate namespace, however i have
not yet discussed that with my coauthors and they may have different views.
    
however thank you for your feedback and drafts are only that. 
Everything is changeable.
