Comment(by deryni):

 The answer was essentially "No, those specs suffer from being written when
 spec writing was still a new art." You can see the
 [http://logs.jabber.org/new/2010/12/9/jdev.html#2010-12-09T21:17:21.165727
 conversation] for yourself.

 The above is according to the xep. I didn't think (until now) to check to
 see if miranda/qip have something non-xep built-in to handle this. We
 probably should check that. It may also make sense to send email to
 standards@ about this so that the specs can get cleaned up/etc. but as I
 said during that conversation this isn't exactly a high priority issue.

 I don't recall noticing if supporting IBB via <message> stanzas would take
 a lot of work but I'd guess probably not in which case we should probably
 do that regardless of what else happens here.

 Similarly we should have someone check whether miranda/qip support the
 user controlling what method is used in attempted transfers.
