Hmm, you should probably not send the original XML back in this case, since it is invalid. Further, since some XML parsers throw error when an unrecognized prefix is encountered, those clients/servers would most likely respond not with a stanza error, but with an xml-not-well-formed *stream* error and close the connection. I think we have to be very careful about how this stuff is routed. Obviously clients shouldn't be generating invalid XML, but servers shouldn't be routing it either. A good server would disconnect whoever sent gajim:die rather than routing it and DoS'ing other clients. -Justin
