We’ve already seen the jabber:x:oob in action earlier
in the book. It is used in a similar way to its big brother, the
jabber:iq:oob namespace. Attaching URLs to messages,
typically done by mechanisms that deliver news- and alert-style headines,
is done like this:
SEND: <message type='headline' to='qmacro@jabber.org/laptop' id='h12'>
<subject>Jabber Foundation Public Conference</subject>
<x xmlns='jabber:x:oob'>
<url>
http://www.jabbercentral.com/news/view.php?news_id=989358658
</url>
<desc>
Tomorrow, May 9th, a meeting regarding the Jabber
Foundation will be held.
</desc>
</x>
</message>
Multiple attachments can be made to a message, using multiple
<x/> tags qualified by this namespace.
The RSS Delivery Mechanism,
described in Section 9.3 in Chapter 9, and the
Headline Viewer, described in Section 9.4, also in Chapter 9, both
use the jabber:x:oob namespace.
