Normal keep-alives are typically a single space character flushed down the 
stream.  However I know it isn't truly a ping. :)

The trivial way to ping is to send a message to your own JID.  If I'm right in 
interpreting the semantics, a message with no body won't be displayed in a 
client anyway, so as long as you tag the outgoing message with an 'id' 
attribute and wait for the incoming message with the same id.
