type="normal">Please stop sending me these stupid emoticons. They add
nothing to your messages, and simply make my Jabber client work overtime to
find and display appropriate images. There are a bunch of relatively
standard emoticons which you can use as-is, but please don't bother me with
all that MSN crap. (Crap is a technical term - it refers to this shit you
keep sending me.)</message>

Well because of the fact that all the added information is in its own x
element its a LOT easier to separate out of the message being sent, this
pub/sub stuff may be able to help turning it on and off, also the sending
client could browse the recipients address to see if it supports that x
element and only send it if it does.
