 * Class representing a single message to or from the BOSH connection

 * These messages consist of a single {@code body} element
 * (qualified within the BOSH namespace:
 * {@code http://jabber.org/protocol/httpbind}) and contain zero or more
 * child elements (of any namespace).  These child elements constitute the
 * message payload.

 * In addition to the message payload, the attributes of the wrapper
 * {@code body} element may also need to be used as part of the communication
 * protocol being implemented on top of BOSH, or to define additional
 * namespaces used by the child "payload" elements.  These attributes are
 * exposed via accessors.
