Research direction

Start by reviewing the XEP-0313 extended usage sections named in the issue, especially archive metadata and query-limit-id, then compare the prior discussion in ejabberd issue #3398. Use the XMPP Compliance Tester extended test as the completion check; done means ejabberd no longer fails that test.

Description

Kind:Feature

AFAICT there is no open feature request to track adding "extended usage" support to XEP-0313 Message Archive Management.

On https://github.com/processone/ejabberd/issues/3398 @badlop commented

Notice that #extended is not advertized, because that would require implementing other features, like https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0313.html#archive-metadata and https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0313.html#query-limit-id

As he kindly added the request "query-paging-flip" https://github.com/processone/ejabberd/issues/3398 has been rightfully closed.

TBH Every now and then after my self-hosted ejabberd fails the XEP-0313 extended usage compliance test on XMPP Compliance Tester, I search to see if ejabberd has added support, like a.o. Prosody. (which I admit is not a strong use case)

Through this feature request, I hope to get it back on the teams radar and give others the opportunity to express interest or comment.
