Minutes for XMPP WG meeting, Tuesday, Nov 19

Internationalization Summary: WG seemed to approve of current approach as outlined by Jeremie Miller.  Note that currently client preference is indicated with "xml:lang" but the standard semantic for that is "language of current msg" not "preference for future messages".  Refer to HTTP "Accept-Language" header for full required functionality.

Relationship with other protocols: Peter Saint-Andre described plans to comply with RFC 2778, RFC 2779.  Attendees emphasized requirement to support CPIM format and other mechanisms from IMPP WG [1].  Robert Sparks presented SIP interaction draft.  One attendee insisted that end-to-end guaranteed delivery was a requirement but there wasn't general agreement.
