Please note that what I'm proposing isn't to overhaul handling, just that while we're throwing a new namespace on it for other reasons might be a good time to be able to include an arbitrary payload, like the name and group ones we already have - I think such a change wouldn't even be inappropriate for bis (which I should discuss on the other list), but I was wondering about throwing together a quick XEP for people to comment on, and then maybe roll it in if appropriate. /K
