Re: Emoticons
This is more up to the client then the service.

Mm.. but doesn't XMPP have to have an element or something in the message xml that sets the emotion/status? I don't want to send a message like this:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?><xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
<message> [emotion:happy] </message>
</xs:schema>
and then parse it in the client. Then I wouldn't be able to to connect to MSN, ICQ etc. I looked through the xmpp documentation and found this XEP-0038: Icon Styles but it says that it should not be implemented. Is it implemented anyways in ejabberd? Which protocol should i use?

According to the Support Prot it's not:

I also don't see it on the message boards but who knows maybe there's some official word on the mailing list.

I don't think PEP is a solution because an emoticon should be embedded in a message.
I'll be also intersted to know if there is a way to send emoticons.
PEP
Personal eventing provides a way for a Jabber/XMPP user to send updates or "events" to other users, who are typically contacts in the user's roster. An event can be anything that a user wants to make known to other people, such as those described in User Geolocation [1], User Mood [2], User Activity [3], and User Tune [4]. While the XMPP Publish-Subscribe [5] extension ("pubsub") can be used to broadcast such events associated, the full pubsub protocol is often thought of as complicated and therefore has not been widely implemented. [6] To make publish-subscribe functionality more accessible (especially to instant messaging and presence applications that conform to XMPP IM [7]), this document defines a simplified subset of pubsub that can be followed by instant messaging client and server developers to more easily deploy personal eventing services across the Jabber/XMPP network. We label this subset "Personal Eventing via Pubsub" or PEP.
