I usually have strong opinions. A clearly written and unambiguous specification is paramount to consistent implementations on the client and server side. XMPP has many corner cases caused by loosely written, imprecise specifications. These make debugging of user problems harder than needed (and often cause those problems in the first place). When elected to Council, I will work hard to reduce the number of these corner cases and to specify well-defined behaviors for those.
