Hey,

>From section 4.6.*:

"4.6.4 Address type='replyto'

<snip>. There MAY be more than one replyto or replyroom on a stanza, in 
which case the reply stanza MUST be routed to all of the addresses.

4.6.5 Address type='replyroom'

<snip>. There MAY be more than one replyto or replyroom on a stanza, in 
which case the reply stanza MUST be routed to all of the addresses."

>From section 7.1:

"If more than one replyto or replyroom address is specified (bad protocol), 
or if a noreply address is specified, a reply SHOULD NOT be generated."

So which one is correct? I would say that sections 4.6.* are fine but wanted 
to confirm which is the correct version. It would also be helpful to have 
some examples showing replies stanzas. In particular, the sentence: "The 
recipient's address SHOULD be removed from the list." from section 7.4 would 
be clearer to understand (I guess it's referring to the recipient of the 
original packet, iow, the sender of the reply).

Regards,
