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?
Minor issues:
