You can use your own wrapper with your own namespace to insert there any data you want:
<item id='avatar_url'> <url xmlns="http://example.com/my_avatar_namespace";>http://example.com/myavatar.com</url> </item> Without the url tag it will conflict with the http://jabber.org/protocol/pubsub schema, it seems.
