Ping command. I would still like to see one.
I usually end up using IQ:Time, or IQ:Version as a ping. Almost
everything supports this - clients, servers, bots, etc.
I would still love to see IQ:Ping.

Most servers use "whitespace pings". It would be good for us to document
that method in an XMPP extension.
