Change Carbons delivery rules to 'all IM traffic' 

After discussion on the standards list at the time of Last Call, it
became clear that servers were not generally implementing Carbons as
specified. This patch updates the text to be more forgiving of such
discrepancies, and to try to reflect general consensus between
implementations of what should be eligible for carbons delivery.

<section1 topic='Messages Eligible for Carbons Delivery' anchor='which-messages'>
<p>The focus of this specification is instant messaging applications and so those (and only those) &MESSAGE; stanzas used for instant messaging SHOULD be delivered as Carbons. Defining precisely which messages are used for instant messaging and which are not is difficult, as future specifications may add additional payloads used for, or not used for, instant messaging; as such, the rules for which messages are eligible for carbons delivery is left as an implementation detail for servers. The following is a suggested set of rules a server MAY use, or it MAY use its own; in either case it SHOULD follow the general intent of these rules:</p>
<p>Possible delivery rules:
<ul>
<li>A &MESSAGE; is eligible for carbons delivery if it is of type "chat".</li>
<li>A &MESSAGE; is eligible for carbons delivery if it is of type "normal" and it contains a &lt;body&gt; element.</li>
<li>A &MESSAGE; is not eligible for carbons delivery if it is determined to have been sent by a MUC room or service, even if it would be otherwise eligible.</li>
<li>A &MESSAGE; is not eligible for carbons delivery if it does not meet any of these criteria.</li>
</ul>
</p>
<p>Future specifications may have more precise requirements on which messages need to be eligible for carbons delivery; such future specifications will provide their own discovery and negotiation mechanisms, such that a client negotiating Carbons using the protocol defined in this specification will cause the server to consider messages eligible for Carbons delivery based on the requirements described herein.</p>
<p>Note: previous versions of this specification limited eligible messages to those of type "chat" - however, this was generally found to be inadequate due to the proliferation of type "normal" messages used in instant messaging.</p>

<section1 topic='Receiving Messages to the Bare JID' anchor='inbound-bare'>
<p>When the server receives a &MESSAGE; of type "chat" addressed to a bare JID (localpart@domainpart), it delivers a copy to each Carbons-enabled resource for the bare JID – in addition to delivering according to <cite>RFC 6121</cite> § 8.5.2. This process is sometimes called "forking".</p>
<p>When the server receives a &MESSAGE; <link url='#which-messages'>eligible for carbons delivery</link> addressed to a bare JID (localpart@domainpart), it first delivers it according to <cite>RFC 6121</cite> § 8.5.2, and then delivers a copy to each Carbons-enabled resource for the bare JID that did not receive it due to the <cite>RFC 6121</cite> delivery rules. This process is sometimes called "forking".</p>

Note that the <cite>RFC 6121</cite> delivery rules can cause a &MESSAGE; addressed to a full JID to be delivered using bare JID delivery rules; in this case the server should also apply the <link url='#inbound-bare'>bare JID rules for Carbons</link>.</p>
<p>Each forwarded copy is wrapped using &xep0297;. The wrapping message SHOULD maintain the same 'type' attribute value; the 'from' attribute MUST be the Carbons-enabled user's bare JID (e.g., "localpart@domainpart"); and the 'to' attribute MUST be the full JID of the resource receiving the copy. The content of the wrapping message MUST contain a &lt;received/&gt; element qualified by the namespace "urn:xmpp:carbons:2", which itself contains a &lt;forwarded/&gt; element qualified by the namespace "urn:xmpp:forward:0" that contains the original &MESSAGE;.</p>
