Ok thank you, Will take a look, Ge0rG.

Maybe somebody can also contact them and tell them that having email=JID is a huge win and easy to do with SRV records.

Is it a huge win, though?

SaltyBones: I think so, yes.

SaltyBones: "what's your address?" -- "georg@domain for email, georg@jabber.domain for ex-MP-pee, ..." -- "???"

doesn't the conversation usually start with "how can I reach you"?

otherwise "what s your address" "georg@yax.im" "got it, thanks" -> thinks it's e-mail

There might be a small win but in general most communication modes have their own addressing system and people expect it and even if they don't you still have to somehow communicate that you support this mode.

which I think somehow pushes in the direction of the old discussion about how to discover xmpp addresses for people :)

SaltyBones: yes, and having xmpp = email is the first step, and having SRV records to show that it's actually an xmpp address is the second
