Hmm... I just noticed something.

Let's say we're pinging a client which does not support ping namespace:

Example 9. Ping Not Supported

<iq from='juliet at capulet.com/chamber'
    to='romeo at montague.net/home'
    id='ping345'
    type='result'>
  <ping xmlns='urn:xmpp:ping'/>
  <error type='cancel'>
    <service-unavailable xmlns='urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:xmpp-stanzas'/>
  </error>
</iq>

Now 3921bis says:
3. Else if the JID is of the form <user at domain/resource> and no
connected or available resource matches the full JID, the recipient's
server (...)  MUST return a <service-unavailable/> stanza error to the
sender if it is an IQ stanza

So the reply above may mean both a pong and a not-pong, and it's
impossible to tell the difference.

BTW: What happened to feature-not-implemented?
