  DoH!  I stand corrected.  The server has this currently implemented as a 
server module ALREADY as mod_xml.  The applicable cose is located at 
http://download.jabber.org/cvs/jabber2/jsm/modules/mod_xml.c

  It functions exactly as the document specs...

  To communicate with eachother, nope.  To have the server support doing 
something?  Yes, but in this case, Jer already did the work to have the server 
handle it for you..  8-P

  Basically, do a set on ANY *NON* jabber:* namespace, and it will store it.
