FWIW, the original XMPP WG (2002) had the following text in its
charter regarding backward compatibility with the existing
implementations and deployments of the Jabber protocols...

   Although not encouraged, non-backwards-compatible changes to the
   basis specifications will be acceptable if the working group
   determines that the changes are required to meet the group's
   technical objectives and the group clearly documents the reasons for
   making them.
