"Jabber supports the IRC convention of allowing "emote" messages. These allow a person to send a message that looks like an action (such as a stage direction) rather than a quote. Your client can recognize an emote message by the prefix "/me "; this should be replaced with the person's [nick]name before displaying it."
So I guess that's encoded in the payload, then. Bizarre.
