Just to summarize a chat I had with Joe on this; neither of us can
immediately think of any attack based on bounced presence or message, but
no doubt Thijs will ruin my complacency. There's no need, even if such an
attack exists, to actually mandate a particular format or generation
strategy, of course - there's no interop need here - but a recommendation
along the lines of XEP-0185 might be useful.

Dave.
