[JDEV] Q: message tracking

[Peter Millard]

The id for the message tags is really just used for tracking specific tags,
not an entire conversation. For this purpose, you should use the <thread>
tag.

The basic idea is that it's some unique value (hash of the date + jid or
something) that each client "mirrors" whenever it sends out replies. So if
you send me a msg with <thread>123</thread> my reply to that msg should also
include <thread>123</thread>. Clients should generate new thread tags when
starting new conversations.
