Might be worthwhile.
6. What if I want to know if a specific message was delivered to
your
client? My client can use message receipts (also not widely
implemented
or deployed, but easy to add to existing clients):

Actually, I think there's another, easy, way of doing this if you
know the full jid of the recipient - XEP-0199 ping them after the
message is sent.
If you get a ping response, then - due to the ordering of all stanzas
between two endpoints - the message must have been delivered.
