[JDEV] XMPP implementation questions

[Sebastiaan Deckers]

FYI,
One of the short term goals for RhymBox is to support SASL+TLS in 
conformance with the XMPP specification and some form of message 
encryption and presence signing.
I agree with the other developers here that the E2E/CPIM document as it 
currently stands is too kludgy compared to JEP 102 or even the old 
GPG/PGP support.  Hopefully the IETF WG will understand and react to 
this community feedback.

Each of the current encryption proposals have problems.
- GPG/PGP:  The minimum message size is just ridiculous for IM.  ("hi" 
becomes three pages of text.)  Adoption on low-end devices might present 
difficulties due to the crypto engine's memory footprint and processing 
demands.
- CPIM/E2E:  Just plain wrong.
- JEP 102:  Does anyone really understand all of that document?  Crazy. 
;-)  Does seem to be the best choice right now.
