[jdev] Jabber-ID email header

[ennova2005-jabber at yahoo.com]

Another +1 to XMPP-ID. 

1. The protocol standard is XMPP (and not Jabber) - all our efforts should be behind the "XMPP" bandwagon.
2. There is atleast one commercial vendor with Jabber in their name. There are also popular opensource servers with jabber in their name. In that sense, jabber-id creates more confusion about product affinity rather than clarity and neutrality.
3. On the URI vs ID issues - people who know enough to add headers also know enough to tell the difference.

Use of jabber-id is as much "sentimental" than historical but if the group is going to follow a convention, I'd say use XMPP

My 2 xents.

Are you saying +1 to his question or +1 to XMPP-ID? :-)

I see several reasons for Jabber-ID:

1. Jabber-ID is historical. In other words, people recognize "Jabber-ID"
but they don't recognize "XMPP-ID", see for instance documents such as
.

2. XMPP-ID might get confused with XMPP URI. We don't want people to
include full XMPP URIs here (or at least I don't think we do, since the
processing rules are a lot more complicated for full URIs).
