Let's make it a separate feature. And after thinking a bit more: this 
really *is* a feature, not just a "negotiation flag". The fact that a 
client understands what <data/> element is doesn't necessarily mean it 
can display file preview - this is just a use case of <data/>. This 
makes me think that maybe current protoxep should be split into separate 
documents per use case.
