Hi,

I think that I've missed the summit discussion on mention because I was sick 
and left early. Probably some discussions also happened on xsf@ room, but it's 
hard for me to follow there.

So it seems that we are ditching XEP-0372: References, can somebody explain to 
me the rationale for that?

XEP-0372 was already specifying a kind of mention, but not as powerful as the 
spec proposed here, however I want to understand why we would want to have 2 
specs for the same thing.

I would love also to have the thoughts of Kevin here, as he is the author of 
XEP-0372.

Thanks,
Goffi
