You could probably embed the 8583 messages directly in a special element in
a message (or iq) stanza with it's own namespace.

Alternatively you can decompose the 8583 message into xml a bit, perhaps
http://multixtpm.sourceforge.net/ 's 8583 XML Bridge would be a good place
to look at.

You might find it's best to use your own protocol between the mobile client
and some sort of backend bot.  That way you de-couple from 8583 and can
redefine interactions without having to re-deploy the clients.
