I'm afraid that if the previous stanza wasn't delivered for some reason then
receiving pong response will not show anything useful.

It's possible, I suppose, that the remote client went offline before the <message/>, and came back online after, just in time to get the <iq/>, but it seems terribly unlikely, especially as you'd also see a <presence/> update as it came back online.
