Summary: This draft is not ready for publication as an Standard Track  RFC

.

 

 

Major issues:

I am wondering why this document is a standard track and not Informational, reading it I get the impression that it repeats text from RFC6120 and does not provide new normative information.

 

Section 3.1 talks about TLS support and say that it SHOULD be tried  but since it is a SHOULD I assume that failure may happen and non TLS connections may be used ( I am not sure what RFC6120 say about it.

 

Section 3.4 may look like authentication is a MUST but section 3.5 talks about  unauthenticated connections

 

On section 3.7 I assume that providing e2e information is based on the XMPP architecture that may have only one server to server hop.  Are there other cases?
