Rhythmbox can't send a Jabber notification according to JEP-0118

Hello! This is a request for enhancement originally reported on the Ubuntu bug tracker. You can find the original bug report at http://launchpad.net/bugs/57913 . Thanks in advance. This would be a great feature if Rhythmbox could send a Jabber notification to update the current song, according to User Tune Jabber Enhancement Proposal http://www.jabber.org/jeps/jep-0118.html
How are we supposed to do this? Is there a standard jabber client library or something? Is there some sample code for this sort of thing?
After a quick overview of the xep, it seems this could be implemented by just throwing the infos of the currently playing song on the session bus. This could be then caught by some shiny jabber client that would do whatever is needed with it.
This is already possible with the existing rhythmbox dbus interface.
comment from the Ubuntu bug submitter on launchpad: "Since Rhythmbox provide nice D-Bus fonctions, Jabber clients can easily implement such an specification, as Gajim did http://trac.gajim.org/browser/branches/gajim_0.11/ChangeLog Thus, I think this bug should be closed." Marking the bug fixed, the dbus interface does the job
