>From what I can gather from the specs it is also perfectly legal to send XML payloads within the BODY element. Is this correct?
I am building a Jabber client for messaging business data. My clent will know how to parse out and handle the elements packed in the body element. The reason I would like package the data within the body element is so that the data would not get lost if sent to a client that does not understand how to handle a specialized x:namespace. In testing with Winjab, when I receive data using a specialized namespace there is no indication, except in the debux XML window, that anything came in. If put the data in the body tag it is displayed and available cfor copying/pasting etc. Is there any reason why I should not use the body element for packaging xml payloads?
