Re: Transporting Atom Notifications over the XMPP (was: updates and deletes)

[Joe Hildebrand <hildjj@xxxxxxxxx>]

Without addressing the formatting issues associated with atom:id's,
yes, I think it would be useful to use the atom:id as the pubsub item
ID.  Item ID's have the nice property that if I publish another item
with the same ID, the old item gets replaced.

Plans for JEP-60 are probably to get some more implementation
experience, and move it to Final status.  It's currently in Draft
status.

http://www.jabber.org/jeps/jep-0001.html

describes the JSF process.  A quote:

<blockquote>
In order for a JEP to advance from Proposed to Draft, it must be
generally stable, must have resolved known holes in Jabber or
deficiencies with existing protocols, must be well-understood by
interested and knowledgeable members of the Jabber community, and must
be formally defined by an XML schema. Elevation to Draft status is a
major advancement for the JEP, indicating a strong belief on the part
of the Jabber Council and Jabber community that the specification will
be of lasting value. Since a Draft standard must be well-understood
and must be known to be reasonably stable, it is relatively safe to
use it as the basis for implementations and production deployments.
However, note that because a Draft standard may still require
additional field experience and may be subject to change based on such
experience, mission-critical or large-scale implementations of the
Draft standard may not be advisable.
</blockquote>

This is a pretty good description of the current state of JEP-60.
