The point is that using prefixes for elements in the jabber:client namespace is specifically not allowed. This is clearly defined in section 11.2.2 of RFC 3920 (XMPP Core). If Google's implementation sends <cli:message/> where cli is a prefix for the jabber:client namespace, this is simply not compliant. Other implementations cannot be blamed for rejecting it. -- Groetjes, ralphm
