[Mono-list] Winfessor Patches for Jabber

Thanks for your patches and for the rationale behind the patches
(hopefully you could reply to Patrik's comments on the thread change).  

There are three things that would be nice to get from you as well:

	* Could we get a set of ChangeLog entries for the patches?

	* Does the Xml test regression test suite work with these
	  changes?

	* Can you provide new tests that exercise the new functionality?
	  (It seems like you only allow a new empty prefix to be passed,
	  am I right?)

We have not started work on this area yet, but probably we would be
using Mozilla's NSS implementation.  I wonder if you would be interested
in working in this area?  Should not be too complex, and we would help
you get started.

Excellent!
