While I'm thinking about all this, I'm just going to send my thoughts to the 
list. Here's an initial draft of what IM2000 over XMPP might look like. 
Feedback is *definitely* encouraged here. :)

Example 1. A typical new message notification

<iq type='set' to='[email protected]/im2000client' 
      from='[email protected]/im2000server' id='1'>
  <query xmlns='jabber:iq:im2000'>
    <message>
      <id>987654321abcdef</id>
      <status>new</status>
      <subject>Hello from Sender!</subject>
    </message>
  </query>
</iq>

Example 2. A typical message request packet

<iq type='get' to='[email protected]/im2000server' id='1'>
  <query xmlns='jabber:iq:im2000'>
    <message>
      <id>987654321abcdef</id>
    </message>
  </query>
</iq>

Example 3. Response to request in example 2

<iq type='result' to='[email protected]/im2000client'
      from='[email protected]/im2000server'>
  <query xmlns='jabber:iq:im2000'>
    <message>
      <id>987654321abcdef</id>
      <status>new</status>
      <subject>Hello from Sender!</subject>
      <body encoding='ascii'>Hello Receiver, how are you doing today? I'm 
doing well. Just thought I'd drop you a line. Isn't IM2000 cool? Check out 
the graphic I attached!</body>
      <attachment encoding='8bit/mime'>(lots of garbage)</attachment>
    </message>
  </query>
</iq>

So obviously this is meant to get us thinking about what all tags/attributes 
we want to have in our jabber:iq:im2000 namespace. Feel free to rip my 
examples to shreds and suggest entirely different ways of doing this. Once we 
get a protocol that seems fairly workable, I'll start writing some code.
