This is a very interesting observation. For jabberd14, I do not see why 
this should make a difference. Jabberd14 does not care about the content 
of a message. It does not even check for the <body/> element inside a 
message as long as it does not get stored offline because it arrives for 
a user, that is currently not online. – But I am not sure how 
mu-conference handles the <body/> element. It might be interesting to 
look in the code of mu-conference. I will do that later … that's really, 
really interesting.
