/**
 * The base IQ (Info/Query) packet. IQ packets are used to get and set information
 * on the server, including authentication, roster operations, and creating
 * accounts. Each IQ packet has a specific type that indicates what type of action
 * is being taken: "get", "set", "result", or "error".<p>
 *
 * IQ packets can contain a single child element that exists in a specific XML
 * namespace. The combination of the element name and namespace determines what
 * type of IQ packet it is. Some example IQ subpacket snippets:<ul>
 *
 *  <li>&lt;query xmlns="jabber:iq:auth"&gt; -- an authentication IQ.
 *  <li>&lt;query xmlns="jabber:iq:private"&gt; -- a private storage IQ.
 *  <li>&lt;pubsub xmlns="http://jabber.org/protocol/pubsub"&gt; -- a pubsub IQ.
 * </ul>
