Hi Philippe,
IBBs can be wrapped inside <message/> or <iq/> stanzas. The current
implementation (re)uses the MessageSession infrastructure. However, this
won't work so well with XEP-0095 (well, it would work, but its ugly anyway).
So if you're not using IBBs yet, you won't be missing anything. Instead you'll
have the choice between IBBs and SOCKS5 bytestreams (XEP-0065), which might
be of interest anyway in case your data is more stream-oriented.
cheers,
Jakob
