Good starting point. I like the first one and have more details to it:

  If I want to create a client/server, what do I need to implement? Yes,
  there are XEP-0242 and XEP-0243, but I'm scared of before I scrolled
  down to that point

  What do I need to implement VoIP would be answer question.

But back to the question about what I hate:

1. Specs are not always written for developers. It looks code on paper
   but it does not fit into the state machine of lib/client foo

2. Many experimental XEPs are not implemented because nobody wants to be
   the first. Or "I can not implement it in a client without server
   support" and "It makes no sense to implement it into a server without
   a client using it"

3. Some XEPs have a scary small scrollbar in my browser. I don't want to
   read everything (good example is PubSub)
