  396. mjk

    Meanwhile, in Matrix: -- This is not the protocol violation you're looking for *waves hand, making the protocol support it* -- Woah...

  397. jonas’

    use namespaced attributes, they're there for that use case

  398. Zash

    or stuff it in a namespaced element

  399. jonas’

    or that, but you can't do that for IQs

  400. Kev

    Please don't shove new stuff in a stanza header, I would expect most of the world to break in that case.

  401. Zash

    I expect half the world to pass it along to the other half, where it'll break.

  402. jonas’

    one half being prosody, the other half being ejabberd?

  403. lovetox has left

  404. Guus

    I'm asking because I was amazed that I'm looking at client traffic that does it, without it breaking in dramatic ways.

  405. Guus

    are _namespaced_ attributes on those elements even ok?

  406. Kev

    Not really.

  407. Zash

    Slightly less not okay at least.

  408. Kev

    We're bad at documenting our extension points, though.

  409. Zash

    It's XML! Everywhere's an extension point if you namespace it!!

  410. Guus

    You'd need to somehow add the namespace to the ... stream element? Feels pretty messy.

  411. restive_monk has joined

  412. lovetox has joined

  413. Guus

    So, yeah, shove it in a child element somewhere.

  414. Guus

    to make you share in my misery, I'm looking at an attribute on a message stanza that starts with this:

  415. Zash

    no no noooooooo

  416. Guus

    `sensorList="{&quot;data&quot;:[{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;sensorOne&quot;,` followed by slightly over 2000 characters

  417. Guus

    and that's just one of those attributes. :D

  418. Kev

    JSON inside a default-namespaced attribute on a message stanza. I don't see what could possibly go wrong.

  419. Guus walks out of the bar, whistling.

  420. Zash fills eyes with kerosene

  421. Kev

    Really, what's the odd Eldrich Horror between friends?

  422. Maranda huhus.

  423. Kev

    Really, what's the odd Eldritch Horror between friends?

  424. Guus

    but as I said: this doesn't break, apparently.

  425. Kev

    I think you've just not found the myriad places it breaks, yet :)

  426. jonas’

    Guus, no you don't, you can <message xmlns:foo='bar' foo:fnord='xyz'/>

  427. jonas’

    Guus, no you don't have to declare it on the stream header, you can <message xmlns:foo='bar' foo:fnord='xyz'/>

  428. Apollo has joined

  429. Guus

    jonas’ ah yes. Still not a good idea probably.

  430. Guus

    Kev: let me put it this way: it's running in production, but they're now reaching out because of some issues.

  431. lovetox has left

  432. Kev

    Oh, I'm happy to believe that given some controlled subset of software it might work. Just that I would expect it to break in the general case.

  433. Zash

    Guus, show them https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0432.html

  434. Guus

    (also: hardcoded stanza IDs)

  435. Guus

    Zash: but it has a big red warning on top of it! must be worse than rolling our own!

  436. lovetox has joined

  437. wladmis has joined

  438. Guus

    (should we make those warnings slightly less off-putting by renaming them to 'beware' and print them in a color that's not firetruck-orange?)

  439. Zash

    Guus: Or push for advancement?

    Zash we can do that for individual XEPs - I was trying to go for a more generic approach.

  484. moparisthebest has joined

  485. Zash

    Is now the time to remember how the `@c` attribute in `<a xmlns="b" c="d"/>` isn't in the "b" namespace?

  486. Guus

    XML prefixes

  487. Guus

    as jonas showed earlier.

  488. Zash

    Like `xmlns:extension="blah" extension:attr="moo"`, yeah that's fine.

  489. arcxi has left

    `xmlns:prefix="uri" prefix:c="yey"`

  491. Guus

    yeah, exactly.

  492. antranigv has left

  493. Kev

    Guus: Yes, it does. I predict it would still break things.

  494. MattJ

    It will break broken things

  495. adiaholic has left

  496. adiaholic has joined

  497. Kev

    Sure. Whereas doing it inside jabber:client will break unbroken things.

  498. jonas’

    nobody proposed doing it in jabber:client

  499. jonas’

    which I'm sure will cause fun effects :D

  500. Kev

    That's exactly what the sample Guus pasted was doing.

  501. jonas’

    no

  506. jonas’

    in <message xmlns="jabber:client" foo="bar"/>, @foo is *not* in the jabber:client namespace.

  507. Kev

    Ok, default namespace, yes.

  508. jonas’

    no

  509. jonas’

    without namespace.

  510. Zash

    Let's just pretend it's in jabber:client plz

  511. jonas’

    <message xmlns="jabber:client" xmlns:jc="jabber:client" jc:foo="bar"/> is in jabber:client then.

  512. jonas’

    and it is semantically different from the former

  513. Zash

    That's what all code I have ever known does

  514. jonas’

    so please let's not pretend that

  515. Kev

    I know what I mean, even if I'm not using the right terms for it.

  516. Link Mauve

    Dino’s internal representation does the wrong thing here. :<

  517. Zash

    This is a silly part of XML

  518. Kev

    I do know that attributes without a namespace live outside, although I always miscall 'no namespace' 'the default namespace'.

    > in <message xmlns="jabber:client" foo="bar"/>, @foo is *not* in the jabber:client namespace. so every websocket implementation ever is broken ?

  522. Kev

    No, I don't believe so.

  523. jonas’

    moparisthebest, why?

  524. jonas’

    moparisthebest, the attributes on stanzas in XMPP are supposed to be in no namespace

  525. Kev

    The attributes in XMPP are in the null-namespace, whatever the right term is.

  526. moparisthebest

    oh, ok then

  527. Zash

    But they ... belong with the whatever namespace xmlns specifies, somehow

  528. moparisthebest

  712. wurstsalat

    ralphm, thank you!

  713. Link Mauve

    moparisthebest, no, it means that it applies to the element, which incidentally defines which attributes are accepted and how to interpret them.

  714. jonas’

    unnamespaced attributes inherently belong to the element, and how to interpret them is at the elements discretion

  715. moparisthebest

    Link Mauve, still not understanding, if an attribute doesn't have a prefix, does it ever have a namespace ?

  716. jonas’

    moparisthebest, no.

  717. Link Mauve

    moparisthebest, never.

  718. jonas’

    otherwise, the second example from that uniqAttrs anchor would not universally be valid

  719. Link Mauve

    In <a xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml' href='/'/> and in <a xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg' href='/'/>, both @href are in the null namespace but both are defined by their parent element(’s namespace).

  720. Link Mauve

    (The latter is an addition in SVG2, it would usually be in the http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink namespace.)

  721. adiaholic has left

  722. moparisthebest

    so a namespace for an element decides which non-namespaced attributes it can have on it ?

  723. moparisthebest

  737. adiaholic has joined

  738. Link Mauve

    moparisthebest, it allows different namespaces to define their elements (and the allowed attributes on them) without fear of incompatibility with another unknown namespace defining the same elements and attributes but with a different meaning.

  739. jonas’

    Link Mauve, but that would still work if attributes worked the same way as elements

  740. jonas’

    however, it allows namespaces to define attributes which have a meaning independently from the element they appear on

  741. Link Mauve

    Right.

  742. yushyin has joined

  743. jonas’

    if the namespace of an attribute was defaulted to the one of the element, all attributes which are used on *any* element in that namespace can not be used generically (in the way xlink:href or xml:lang is used generically)

  744. jonas’

    though I think that this particular trade-off is not worth the headaches it causes

    It's not a lie, generally speaking what they're saying is true. They obviously just mean "it has a domain name in it", what they're suggesting is that you don't have to lug a domain name around, I think. eg. if you sign up on @twitter.com and get address "myname" then move to "example.com" your address will still just be "Myname" but a new server will be handling the data.

    Topic change: As I posted a while ago to the list, xmpp.net is a home to some a handful of "not officially XSF" projects, most notably the IM Observatory (and probably its successor)

  999. MattJ

    One of the projects has requested a MUC, which could live on muc.xmpp.org but might be confusing as a "not officially XSF" thing

  1001. MattJ

    So one alternative option is to add a vhost for muc.xmpp.net or similar to this server

  1002. MattJ

    From an iteam perspective I'm fine with that, and from a board perspective I'm fine with that. Does anyone have a perspective from this would not be fine? If not, I'll go ahead and set it up soon.

    or just stop playing that game and call it an official XSF thing

  1005. moparisthebest

    not official, only ran 100% by the same people running the XSF

    moparisthebest: that will end up in lots of "discussion" I assume?

  1010. MattJ

    Making things official XSF things is not always a good thing for such projects, or the XSF

  1011. emus

    I tend to agree with Matt

  1012. MattJ

    This is my opinion, I know we have had discussions in the past where people disagreed with it

  1013. MattJ

    i.e. some people are of the opinion that the XSF should aim to be and do everything XMPP, while I prefer to keep it mostly just a vehicle for publishing standards

  1015. moparisthebest

    just seems silly to me to continue "it's not official ;D" vs "ok XSF runs it"

    Partly because it has proven time and time again to be pretty bad at doing anything else, but mostly okay at the standards thing :)

    MattJ - nothing against the Newsletter - OKKK?!?!! 😉

    So it's a "trade mark" issue: "yea, we run it, but don't expect it to be as great as the main thing XSF is known for"? :)

  1025. MattJ

    emus, no, the newsletter has been a rare exception... but that's mostly thanks to your dedication :)

  1026. emus

    just kidding 🙂

    I was about to say the opposite: the XSF is really bad at the newsletter, it's an XSF project that got dumped on the shoulders (voluntarily, of course) of a single individual who gets almost no support from anyone else :) (I say counting myself as complicit in that)

    The newsletter itself is great, the XSF involvement not so much :)

    thanks Link Mauve, but I think I new all that already and I am not sure how this answers my question. let's say I have <foo:elem xmlns:foo="foo.org" foo:favorite-lang="fr"/> and assume we attribute namespaces are the ones of the element unless specified otherwise, then this could be written as <elem xmlns="foo.org" favorite-lang="fr">. Why shouldn't I then be able to use favorite-lang on a different element, in a different namespace even
