Just noticed that none of the terminology defined in section 2 is 
actually used. I think the reference to XEP-0238 can therefore be removed.

I do suspect the figure showing the overall process can be simplified as 
proposed in 
https://github.com/fippo/xmpp-fed/commit/913a183a5a74ea7b03a1b8a67164bb35df9e0c9b 
but it has been long enough since that commit that I need to recheck this.

More thorough review to follow.
