    Hello Bob,

    It's a follow-up to my previous message. We have published XEP
    intermediate format description as a separate document on our tech
    support web site, it is linked from the following page: http://xep.xattic.com/xep/doc/doc.html

    In the next XEP version we plan to include this description into the
    basic distribution documentation.

    Best regards,

    AP> Hello Bob,

    AP> It is described in the document called "Using XEP 3.8 in Java
    AP> Applications" that is a part of Server/Developer XEP editions. The
    AP> reason is that intermediate format is primarily aimed to those who
    AP> need to perform some postprocessing through the XEP API or want to
    AP> write their own backend.

    BS>> That sounds like a perfect solution. But I can't find any information in
