Thanks Adrian, but please let me insist a bit on it.

RFC 4826 just defines a few XML fields for each buddy entry, basically:

  <entry uri="sip:joe at example.com">
     <display-name>Joe Smith</display-name>
  </entry>

What about if I want to store more data as mail, home phone, mobile,
organization, role, category...?
Does this XML schema allow custom fields? or should other standarized
XML namespace be used for them? if so, which one?

Thanks.
