XEP-0444 specifies it in the business rules, although its not very strict, 
basically says you should use the original id but everyone should also support 
everything else.

XEP-0308 does not overwrite the original message id, the client just replaces 
the payload of the message.

So all corrections point to the original message.

I would argue the case if the corrections XEP itself always references the 
original message, all other XEPs should do aswell.
