telepathy-spec 0.17.5, the "Channel.Type.Text 2.0 (beta)" release.

The latest release is, as always, available from:
http://telepathy.freedesktop.org/spec.html
http://darcs.collabora.co.uk/darcs/telepathy/telepathy-spec/
or for packagers (e.g. http://packages.debian.org/telepathy-spec):
tar: http://telepathy.freedesktop.org/releases/telepathy-spec/telepathy-spec-0.17.5.tar.gz
sig: http://telepathy.freedesktop.org/releases/telepathy-spec/telepathy-spec-0.17.5.tar.gz.asc

New experimental APIs:

* Channel.Interface.Messages: extensible version of Text with support for
  MIME-style attachments, alternatives, etc. and extensible metadata
* Channel.Interface.HTML: a brief sketch of how we intend to use Messages
  to get formatted message support in future (unfinished!)
* Channel.Interface.DeliveryReporting: an enhanced version of the Text
  interface's rather simplistic SendError signal

Clarifications:

* Make it completely clear that suppress_handler does NOT mean incoming vs
  outgoing channels
* Annotate a lot of changes with the version in which they were introduced

Tools changes:

* Show when things were added/changed/deprecated in the HTML spec

Regards,
    Simon
