   <section2 topic='Sending a Private Message' anchor='privatemessage'>
     <p>Since each occupant has its own occupant JID, an occupant can send a "private message" to a selected occupant via the service by sending a message to the intended recipient's occupant JID. The message type SHOULD be "chat" and MUST NOT be "groupchat", but MAY be left unspecified (i.e., a normal message). This privilege is controlled by the "muc#roomconfig_allowpm" room configuration option.</p>
     <p>To allow for proper synchronization of these messages to the user's other clients by &xep0280;, the sending client SHOULD add an &lt;x/&gt; element qualified by the 'http://jabber.org/protocol/muc#user' namespace to the message.</p>
-    <p><strong>Note:</strong> because this requirement was only added in revision 1.28 of this XEP, receiving clients MUST NOT rely on the existence of the &lt;x/&gt; element on private messages for proper processing.</p>
