Yet XEP-0038 says: *** The text strings representing the icons will be sent like any other text (this document doesn't require extra tags or attributes in the messages being sent). *** Furthermore there are the concerns raised by pgmillard way back in 2003: "I still have serious issues w/ -38. My primary concern is that it's impossible to implement this JEP and still have a client be able to handle 50K message bodies. I'd like to see this JEP turn into something which just defines _STANDARD_ emtoticons for jabber, and be done with it." http://mail.jabber.org/pipermail/standards/2003-April/002995.html Peter -- Peter Saint-Andre XMPP Standards Foundation http://www.xmpp.org/xsf/people/stpeter.shtml
