It is, however, against typical Jabber convention. It's legal XML, but it's not Jabber convention. Jabber convention is to use the <x/> element.

I have been using and developing with Jabber for many years now, and never took notice of this "convention". Might I add that if such a convention exists, I propose it to be deemed "silly" and no longer be followed. +1 please.
Seriously now.. what's the point of calling it x? Maybe in the era before namespace-aware parsers this could have been *slighty* usefull, but nowadays?
I would suggest using something that describes the data it's carrying, so "game" is still a little bit broad if you ask me. Technically it doesn't matter ofcourse... you can use anything, it's your namespace. Your favorite pet, your mother's maiden name, the capital of Iceland, it's all good. But typically in XML you choose something descriptive of your data. "x" hardly qualifies for that I'd think.
