Comment:

 Hello

 Replying to [comment:4 jelte]:
 > The initial part about the 'instance' attribute in addressing might be a
 tad too cynical :) It's probably more accurate to say we haven't found any
 actual use for it (because we use name-by-convention, and more
 importantly, the only time we send to specific instances is when we
 reply), but so far it hasn't been a priority to actually remove it.

 I made it sound more polite with regards to the header now.

 Anyway, we don't use that even for that. We use the l-name for answering
 and put it to the `to` header. We copy the instance from the original
 message, so it is `*` as usual. I did see some ancient code somewhere
 around configuration that did have an instance set, but that's an
 exception. Looking at the semantics, I think it should rather be called
 „subgroup“, not instance, since there can be multiple connections in the
 same instance.

 > One small improvement perhaps could be to explicitely specify the types
 of the header fields.

 Done
