Hi!
I just discovered a privacy problem in the jabber pub/sub feed. The
<in_reply_to> tag contains the full text of the status update a post
is replying to, even if the original post is private. I verified this
is not a case where the original poster changed his account to
protected after posting the status update.
May I suggest replacing the <in_reply_to> tag with a
<in_reply_to_post_id> tag? Not only does this ensure the original
post's privacy is respected, but it makes following conversations so
much easier.

Ack, thanks! This will be in_reply_to_status_id in a few minutes,
just like the REST API.
