The 'id' attribute in the response will match whatever you used in the request. That said, XMPP ensures in-order processing, and so you should not concern yourself so much about processing IBB responses in arbitrary order. If the most recent IBB ack does not match the oldest unacked request then you should probably just abort the IBB session. -Justin
