[jdev] Proper use of <composing/>

Sun Aug 28 22:15:28 CDT 2005

Hey all, just getting back into some XMPP dev and was wondering about 
the <composing/> element inside a message.

I added some code to ignoring messages there were being "composed" on 
the assumption that it's not the final message, and that I'd be 
expecting a copy without a <composing/> element once the user has sent 
the final message.

However, the more I look at this, the more I see clients sending only 
one final message with the entire message content AND the <composing/> 
element.

<message to="talios at gmail.com/mobile" 
from="dantekgeek at gmail.com/AdiumEC5BBF13" type="chat"><body>and now I 
see you on IRC</body><x xmlns="jabber:x:event"><composing/></x><html 
xmlns="http://jabber.org/protocol/xhtml-im"></html></message>

Does anyone have a pointer for a JEP for this composition message?  I 
can't seem to spot which its in.  I'm sure my assumptions are wrong 
(which is more logical than the alternative that everyone else has it 
wrong)....

Cheers,
mark
