There's really no fallback in XEP-0096. You have to try, say, SOCKS5
Bytestreams. If that doesn't work, you initiate a new file transfer
using IBB instead. In XEP-0234 we have more automated ways to handle the
fallback scenario.

(Speaking of which, we need to push forward with XEP-0234 now that
XEP-0260 and XEP-0261 have advaned to Draft...)
