Sorry, but I don't understand what the format used for transporting
stanzas has to do with the content. Just because XML wouldn't be used
for the stanza and stream attributes(metadatas doesn't mean that the
content of those stanzas can't be XML.

Anyway, I was told to become silent, so I prefer to quit this discussion.
