Hi Edward,

A XEP is automatically back to experimental if anything is done on it (even a 
simple typo fix). The Deferred status is an indicator of activity and should 
not be removed just for the sake of it.

However, XEP-0346 is in my opinion good to go to stable, it's up to its author 
(Kev) to propose it for a Last Call.

Also please note that I have an implementation of it in Libervia, I use it for 
the "shared list" feature, and the ticket tracker of the project is made with 
it (https://www.goffi.org/forge/goffi/libervia-backend/tickets). The CLI frontend 
has commands to manipulate this kind of lists (https://libervia.org/__b/doc/
backend/libervia-cli/list.html).

It would be nice to test your implementation against mine to check for 
compatibility.

Best,
Goffi
