[Stox] Comments on draft-ietf-stox-im-11

Hi,

(I apologize that these comments are late in the process. Please feel free to defer them to last call.)

This version mostly looks good, but there are a few minor issues:

-- Message Size

It might be worth a discussion on message size limits (e.g. the SIP MESSAGE method limits the size to 1300 octets except under some pretty narrow circumstances.)

-- Example 3:

This example reverses the From and To in the SIP response (similar to the same issue for stox-chat.)

--section 4, text right above table 1:

The text references stox-chat for additional mappings. But stox-chat references this draft for the same reasons. I realize it's not really a circular reference, but I think it might confuse the reader.

-- Security considerations

I'm a little uncomfortable non-normatively saying we "prefer" the use of RFC3862. My strictly individual opinion is that we should make a normative recommendation, or merely point out the possibility of using 3862. (I realize we do this a lot with the "ought to" construct, but it seems like things like end-to-end crypto could benefit from a less vague approach.)
