[JDEV] What exactly do you do with the IQ event?

[Thomas Charron]

    IQ is shorthand for Info/Query.  IQ is a method to get and set any
arbitrary data, be is authentication for the server, vCard information,. or
anything else.  If you look at the protocol, the IQ tag itself is very
simply, and uses a namespace to ride any arbitrary XML, such as jabber:auth,
jabber:auth:0k, etc..

    A quick overview of the basics is at
http://docs.jabber.org/proto/html/iq.html

    A list of the most comonly used IQ messages is located at
