Sorry, I probably misunderstood, I thought there were resistance to update the corresponding specs. I understand that non XMPP specs might refuse to be updated, but at least this behavior could be standardized for XMPP specifically.

Yeah, the resistance is outside the XMPP community. However we have a long history of working with internet standards, and it's disappointing to now be in an era where "the internet" has become just a synonym for "the web", and so many interesting protocols and ideas get pushed aside because of the focus on browsers, the web and HTTPS.
