Ah, but my client does "do the right thing" with Atom payloads - it doesn't support them, so it doesn't advertise that it supports them. The right thing for the identi.ca bot to do, when faced with a client that isn't advertising that it supports atom payloads (or xhtml-im payloads) is almost certainly for it to not send them. Fortunately, this isn't a complicated protocol fix - we've got XEP-0115, which is deployed and working for this kind of thing. /K
