[JDEV] is there any message size limitation?

[Robert Spahr]

Hi all,

I have looked at the mailing list archive and can find no information regarding message size limits.
My question is:

Is there a limit to the size of a jabber message? My goal would be to create a client that sends a message, and yet has an "attached" or "embedded" section of XML that would not be parsed, but would instead be saved locally, to later be viewed as an XML document.

So is there a real or practical size limit of a jabber message? 

Thanks so much
