&xmppcore; does not specify a way for entities in a stream (single-hop) to acknowledge successful receipt of a stanza. This specification proposes a mechanism for efficient and flexible acknowledgement of stanzas. The protocol is intended for use with both Client-to-Server and Server-to-Server streams.
-It is important not to confuse the facilities provided by this specification with those provided by &xep0022;, &xep0079;, and &xep0184;.

In contrast, this specification proposes a protocol intended for widespread, general use. It is also expected that this protocol will revive interest in AMP, as single-hop acknowledgements are necessary for AMP delivery receipts to function properly.

There is a lot to be gained by adding this feature to the protocol, such as:
Examples of stanza acknowledgements are provided in the next section.
