Someone mentioned this directive on slidge's MUC* yesterday, but I haven't looked into it too much yet. I guess slidge's plugins should be easier to maintain once this is directive is in application. I should focus on improving slidge's core more then.

This is a very shy attempt at, finally, regulate big tech: interop with protocols which are stable in time and simple enough to do a good enough job. Big tech dreads something that would disable software/network protocols planned obsolescence (it is much less true for hardware), don't forget, those ppl are scammers: if they cannot "embrace and extend" anymore...

In their directive, they forgot noscript/basic (x)html interop, and for the messaging protocols, the account creation which is actually a big issue.
