I still think q is cleaner. When using e tags and markers clients are forced to pull down quotes when pulling the thread, which is a waste of bandwidth.

But yes we can filter them out using markers, but clients should be doing the right thing here and not wasting peoples bandwidth by using q tags

Oh, I never thought of it that way. That’s a good point. Has anyone proposed this as an amendment to NIP-18?

Yeah it will be pretty important for popular posts. No i don’t think it has been proposed yet.

I was already in the middle of cleaning up the language in that NIP and others that relate to event mentioning and referencing. I’ll take a stab at it.
