I can only speak for Psi, but you are correct, we do not support forms
encapsulated in a message, although the XEP specifies it should be
possible.

Again, correct. Psi 0.10 did not respond to unknown queries, although
it has to according to the specifications. This will be fixed in 0.11.
However, Psi still does not support IQ queries with data form requests
either.

It sounds like the right way to do this. We haven't implemented
responding to generic form requests (either in the IQ way or in
messages) yet, because nobody needed it.
