Not true!

There is no need to call extension child elements to <message/> <x/>.
The element can have any name as defined by the namespace it claims to
be in using the xmlns attribute. An example in current JEPs is the
notification events from JEP-0060 (pubsub):

    <message to="subscriber1" from="pubsub.jabber.org">
      <event xmlns="http://jabber.org/protocol/pubsub#event">
	<items node="generic/pgm-mp3-player">
	  <item id="current"/>
	</items>
      </event>
    </message>

Another example is sending XHTML using JEP-0071.

What is true is that it used to be a convention to use 'x' as the
element name, and several Jabber libraries erroneous still assume this.

Jeremy's example is perfectly legal, and IMHO a whole lot better than
wrapping it inside another element for no additional gain.
