The difference is that Jabber clients are created, maintained, and run
in completely different trackers for different people, some will even
be developed as closed source.
Compliance issues affect *everyone* in the Jabber community, rather
than just affecting the users of that particular client. Users of the
particular client may even begin to think that Jabber itself is broken
when they attempt to communicate with users of other clients, depending
on the exact protocol issue.
I didn't think I needed to argue the case for public compliance testing
to the JSF, but I guess I do...
As for the <show>online</show> stuff, yeah, thanks for the replies, but
that was an example, not my point.
