Well, see, this last bit is why it was Jabber convention. There are a
lot of parsers out there which are still not namespace-aware, so
having everything use <x/> makes their lives easier. I never said
*everything* in Jabber uses it or *everything* in the future must use
it. I was simply stating that it is Jabber convention. There are
indeed newer JEPs which don't follow that convention, but there are
also new JEPs which do follow the convention.
I won't pretend to care whether people follow this convention or not
(gee, you might even find my name on popular JEPs which don't use <x/
>), I was simply informing him why a bunch of people were going to
say it's "wrong" to not have it in <x/> and then a bunch of other
people will say its "wrong" to use <x/>. Both types of replies have
been made ad nauseam to this thread already, so it looks like it was
a good move on my part to let the initial poster know.
Calm down everyone, it's not like I do anything Jabber-related except
whine.
Julian
