Thanks for writing the draft.  For the sake of disclosure [1], I know 
some of the XSF members.

draft-carpenter-prismatic-reflections-00 mentions that:

   "Clearly, we have a lot of specification work ongoing in different
    areas that helps to mitigate various security vulnerabilities.
    This ranges from recent work on XMPP end-to-end security ...."

I recently read an article about XMPP ( 
https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2013/05/google-abandons-open-standards-instant-messaging 
).  From the article:

   "removes the option to disable the archiving of all chat communications"
