It's a pity that #XMPP extensions (#XEP) are so badly understood and there is so much misinformation on them.
Because the principle is really great: you have an idea, you explain it, and how to implement it, it's discussed, and evolves with feedback. Anybody can do it, you don't even need to be #XSF member.
Maybe later, an other idea, or a better version replace it, and it works thanks to the neat discovery mechanism of XMPP.
One of the main reasons why I've stuck with this #protocol.
