Further XEPs not listed below: XEP-0178: Best Practices for Use of SASL EXTERNAL with Certificates. XEP-0185: Dialback Key Generation and Validation. XEP-0190: Best Practice for Closing Idle Streams. XEP-0212: XMPP Basic Server 2008. XEP-0220: Server Dialback. psyced also implements many functionalities in a PSYC fashion, which is unlike the equivalent XEPs, but may actually work, too.
  PSYC has no central databases. It doesn't make a difference if a dozen or a billion people are using it at once. PSYC was designed to overcome the problems of existing technologies and does so with a radically new approach.
   PSYC is a flexible protocol to set up a worldwide decentralized messaging infrastructure mostly for text-based conferencing (popularly termed chatting). It was developed with the goal in mind to provide a new interserver back-end for the Internet Relay Chat protocol, which had reached its scalability limits. IRC's form of multicasting has been generalized and extended, at the same time a decentralized structure has been adopted which empowers everyone to be his own server administrator.
