What happens if you tell a repeater to broadcast an <iq>?
The naive outcome is that all the recipients send you an
<iq type='result'> directly, each with an ID that you've never heard
of. That will mess with most client libraries -- at least, the ones
I've seen; they expect IQ-results only to IQ-set or get, with
matching IDs.
Conservative proposal: declare that you can only broadcast message
or presence.
Good point. Perhaps just a warning that you'll get multiple responses
back, so you SHOULD NOT send IQs through the repeater unless you are
willing to deal with iq responses to requests you didn't send.
