I've been looking into OTR as the basis for a better approach to encryption over Jabber. Right now, OTR encrypts only the character data of the message <body/> element. That's great for interop with other IM systems, but it's rather limiting for more complete XMPP coverage. Perhaps it would make sense to negotiate which mode you want to use -- message bodies only or full stanza encryption. Realistically, I know that many IM users don't care about full stanza encryption, but I also know that full stanza encryption might be valuable for other uses of XMPP.
