The thing is they work in fundamentally different ways and simply adding use
cases will not allow JEP-0070 work in the way JEP-0101 does, JEP-0070
requires that the web server be tied to a jabber server for it to work which
creates some serious scalability and security concerns which are especially
problematic for web farms, whereas JEP-0101 allows the jabber (ticket
serving) component to be completely separated from the webserver. JEP-0101
also potensially means less network roundtrips in the jabber layer as the
client can use the same ticket across multiple websites and pages without
having to re-request it, overall JEP-0101 is a much more scalable and
efficient solution.
