I have to admit that I have forgotten these use cases too. How ever here are my reasons why I'm sending events in IQs: * to be 100% sure that the events don't go to offline storage * To have "acks" without implement XEP-0184 Message Receipts or similar * I'm connected with a JID with multiple resources (/a and /b for example). I want to send events only to resource /a. When the resource /a for some reason disappears some servers starts to route message stanzas sent to resource /a to resource /b. Cheers, -- tuomas
