I have read and I understand your arguments.

I disagree, because this feature will not dilute XMPP, and it will not add any complexity, since it is an extension system and anyone can decide whether to use it or not.

The XEP will not have any new changes at server-side, but only at client-side.

I think, that I know what I am doing.

I guess we'll have to see about that.

But like I said if you want to go that route, be my guest. It will not be core functionality but just like our Sync client started out as a browser extension, you can do the same for this XMPP stuff. You have access to the browser's internal interfaces to do everything, after all.
I'll wait. Good luck to you.

When all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail :roll:

If you're so enamored of XMPP, go figure out how to write your own client or server - this forum isn't the place for that.
If you're so keen on creating a bookmarking extension then learn about how the existing multiple other extensions and the sync service work.

Instead you're forcing a round peg into a square hole.

Of all of the projects to which I have posted about this, Pale Moon was the most informative to me, and I thank you for your kind attention on this matter.

Indeed. I understand.

I am not enamored nor obsessed of XMPP.

I think, that I have practical reasons to do this.

Of course.

This is definitely not my intention.

Happy New Year!

Encryption

I have asked about content encryption, and I was advised to utilize OpenPGP for this task.

XEP-0473: OpenPGP for XMPP Pubsub
https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0473.html

Encrypting PubSub node items

Publishing

Due to the systems linkding and Postmill, I also consider to add an aditional field to Blasta (formatted content field in addition to plaintext summary), which would make it compatible with publishing systems such as Libervia and Movim.

Blasta, Libervia, and Movim

I have also posted about it in my journal.

Thank you jobbautista9 for referring to Postmill.
