In XMPP we assume that you can put properly-namespaced extension 
elements just about anywhere. If your software doesn't understand an 
extension, ignore it. The usage you cite does not violate RFCs 3920 and 
3921, however it is not explicitly allowed by the (informative) schema 
in JEP-0078 because we have not been careful about writing the schemas 
to allow properly-namespaced extension elements. However, it would be 
easy to update the schemas accordingly.
