[JDEV] Rich Text in Messages

    Using extended namespaces..  That's what the 'x' tag is used for.  You
simply have two versions of the message..  Plain text in the body tag, and
rich text such as XHTML in a <x xmlns="whateverxhtmlis>SomeDatainXHTML</x>

  A rough example from the jpg (not 100% acurate)

<message to="horatio at denmark">
  <body>Angels and Ministers of Grace, defend us!</body>
  <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml-basic">
    <body>
      <div style="font-size: medium;
        color: red;
        text-align: center">
        Angels and Ministers of Grace, defend us!
      </div>
    </body>
  </html>
</message>

  The html part if what I find incorrect, as it's not part of any of the
DTD's I've seen.  If anything it's be more like <x xmlns="jabber:x:xhtml">
or something..
