Thanks for the article! Just to nitpick:
> Moreover, the protocol has been audited by a third party.
Some implementations have been audited, unfortunately far from all! There's a lot of things to audit and/or improve related to privacy and security in the XMPP ecosystem: i would personally recommend to read this FAQ: https://joinjabber.org/faqs/security/ https://joinjabber.org/faqs/security/
> Also, on this page, you can track the progress of OMEMO integration in XMPP clients (applications)
This is true, but based on estimated progress not something measured by a test suite. For example poezio is marked 100% but i keep having OMEMO problems with it (not blaming the poor poezio-omemo maintainer who's working on it alone mostly).
> Only the nickname is displayed if you participate in a group chat or a channel (here, the XMPP extension called MUC, the acronym for Multi-User Chat, is used).
Except for the room operators! The MUC server admins have access to all addresses, as well as room admins. Also, some rooms are public in which case everyone can read everyone's address (like a mailing list).
