Description

The spec currently contains:

https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec/blob/6b5ff04d00b49e87757101b21e7f3f1bfa49dc01/content/client-server-api/modules/end_to_end_encryption.md?plain=1#L926

Element and Foundation should try to separate as much as feasible. In this case, spec development, including translations, should be independent from services used by Element for their products.

Research direction

Start with content/client-server-api/modules/end_to_end_encryption.md at the referenced section around line 926, then inspect how the cited Element resource is used in the spec and its translations. Identify the project-owned or independent resource boundary needed so spec development does not depend on Element services; completion should cover the affected references and translation workflow.
