Why is this a bad idea? Use jabbaer:x:*, which is meant for extentions.
I think you mean "jabber:iq:", since "jabber:x:" is for use in <message> elements.
The reason I think this is a bad idea is that, as I understand it, the "jabber" namespace is owned by jabber.org for things that are part of the Jabber specification. Other developers should use their own namespaces. (Similarly, 3rd party Java developers should not use package names starting with "java." since those are reserved by Sun.)
And don't sound so darned negative about everything, it'll give ya
wrinkles.. 8-)
Oh, I'm not negative about most things, but this one really shocked me. It's the worst-designed thing I've seen in Jabber yet.
