Hi Guys,

I am building an application that uses XMPP and google talk service as key components. When I connect to the google talk service I find that there are "extra" things happening.

For example with google:rooster (http://code.google.com/apis/talk/ jep_extensions/roster_attributes.html) uses the value gr:inc=2 in doco - I have tried with 3 and still works (it doesn't work with 4 and upwards).

I also notice that unlike what is specified in the documentation, not all your friends are sent back in response to the iq:roster requests - rather only my quick contacts list is sent.

Another example is with google:settings (http://code.google.com/apis/ talk/jep_extensions/usersettings.html) - I have noticed the following extra settings when doing a iq get for usersetting. A typical response will look like

<iq to="a.u...@gmail.com/TalkBFE00558" id="9v71p-9" type="result"> <usersetting xmlns="google:setting"> <autoacceptsuggestions value="true"/> <mailnotifications value="true"/> <gmail value="true"/> <emailverified value=\"true"/> <domainprivacynotice value="false"/> <archivingenabled value="true"/> <displayname value="Test Display"/></usersetting></iq>

Notice that the gmail, emailverified and domainprivacynotice are not in the documentation. What do these do?

Is anyone from google here able to assist with some explanations?
