idna is only a thing for servers right? Client (toolkits) don’t have to validate it do they? nameprep is enough?

Gajim uses it for validation

im not sure if this is really realistic to say clients dont need to validate JIDs

what comes to mind at first is that i dont think servers validate all attributes or elements where a JID could be placed

and even if, what they surley dont validate is jids inside the body

second what comes to mind is, that JIDs can come from other sources than the server

its generally useful for a GUI client to be able to present the user with an indication if something is a valid JID.

for what we also use idna lib is the encoding/decoding from idns like xn--dmin-moa0i.example

again a user GUI thing

And preparing for 174 isn't too bad either, if only "servers" needed to validate :)

When a message is edited, is it wise to reset the "read" status ?

IMO as a user it's mostly annoying when my client does that

But I can see the argument for it

lovetox, punycode isn’t used at all on XMPP.
