Hm, this is an interesting XEP. I can imagine how client _might_ get confused by such a message, but at least I wouldn't have much problems with it. I mean, I have to scan the message for all kinds of things anyway, eg. for the mood and all the other rubbish. I would then transmit each part to the program module that handles it and let it proceed. Eg. the dataform would be displayed, the message would be printed in the window, geoloc and mood will be updated and the message module will figure out that the message is urgent and will of course intercept the message if it has expired. How are receiving clients expected to find out which profile the message belongs to? Are they expected to find it out? Or are the profiles just a recommendation for the sender to send messages that gurantee that the message isn't confused by dumb clients? Robin
