I vote for using disco.  This is actually how UDP support in XEP-65 works.  
Base support means TCP only, and there's an extra #udp namespace if you 
support UDP.

We can do the same thing here, with an extra #iq namespace.  I wouldn't worry 
about announcing message support, that is already implied by the base 
namespace.

Sorry about not including this in the first place.  The only reason I didn't 
is because I didn't think anyone was actually using IBB.
