The section on OTR chat says two things which are either inaccurate or need more explaining:

  1. "Jabber leaks less metedata than these services [gchat and facebook chat], especially if both people use the same Jabber server."

Need to explain: What does 'leak' mean there? Why does it matter if they use the same server?

  1. "XMPP servers...encrypt metadata (like the "to" and "from" fields) between servers"

Dont' think that's true, but will need more explanation even if it is

at some points, we're using Jabber and XMPP interchangeably, which is a mistake. Re: metadata, I contacted an expert last summer-- will dig up his response and make the necessary edits once I do my final run-through.
