So for example instead of this:

<body condition='remote-stream-error'
       type='terminate'
       xmlns='http://jabber.org/protocol/httpbind'>
   <xml-not-well-formed xmlns='urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:xmpp-streams'/>
   <text xmlns='urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:xmpp-streams'
         xml:lang='en'>
     Some special application diagnostic information!
   </text>
   <escape-your-data xmlns='application-ns'/>
</body>

We'd have this:

<body condition='remote-stream-error'
       type='terminate'
       xmlns='http://jabber.org/protocol/httpbind'>
   <stream:error>
     <xml-not-well-formed xmlns='urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:xmpp-streams'/>
     <text xmlns='urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:xmpp-streams'
           xml:lang='en'>
       Some special application diagnostic information!
     </text>
     <escape-your-data xmlns='application-ns'/>
   </stream:error>
</body>

No objections here.

Ian, what do you think?
