exactly
I doubt that a nested iq or message element could be exploited to run
anything - it wouldn't be recognized by the server and isn't relevant to
HTML.  A bigger concern IMO would be common script , object , img tag, and
buffer overflow, exploits where the client is using the Web Browser Control
a/o MSHTML.  You'd have the same vulnerabilities as the installed version of
IE.
