I think you mean "jabber:iq:", since "jabber:x:" is for use in <message> 
elements.

The reason I think this is a bad idea is that, as I understand it, the 
"jabber" namespace is owned by jabber.org for things that are part of 
the Jabber specification. Other developers should use their own 
namespaces. (Similarly, 3rd party Java developers should not use package 
names starting with "java." since those are reserved by Sun.)

Oh, I'm not negative about most things, but this one really shocked me. 
It's the worst-designed thing I've seen in Jabber yet.
