I was once appalled when this xep was deprecated with no viable replacement, but that was a long time ago and its ship has sailed: Since then we moved to formatting based on references, which also provides a nice way for a fallback to clients that don't support them. Fallback for this one, however, requires including a full alternative message body, which looks very ugly to me, and it gets even more ugly if we want to save/forward this message. Also, I remember endless complaints about html tags in messages from users who communicated with Pidgin, which at the time did put tags right in <body> So no, I prefer it to stay as it is. (Message styling as described in XEP-0393 is also not a very good idea that uses input format as a wire format) On Sun, 15 Mar 2026 at 06:28, Schimon Jehudah via Standards < [email protected]> wrote: > Greetings. > > I am not an XSF member, yet I am interested to reinstate XHTML-IM. > > I have useful ideas that would be possible with XHTML-IM. > > Nevertheless, even without new ideas, I deem that XEP-0071 should be > reinstated with added security concerns; > > Email software also handle (X)HTML, and so many other software, while > implementing security measures; and > > Therefore, I deem that, XEP-0071 should be reinstated. > > Kind reagrds, > Schimon > _______________________________________________ > Standards mailing list -- [email protected] > To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected] > -- Andrew Nenakhov https://redsolution.com <http://www.redsolution.com> _______________________________________________ Standards mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected]
