mod_rest: Remove manual reference expansion in schema This hack was originally added to reduce the number of definitions of common attributes (type, to, from etc) and payloads (e.g. delay). This predated pointers and references, and until now was needed because parsing picked out the correct stanza kind from the schema, which broke internal references. Removing this hack paves the way for allowing the schema to be configured or customized more easily.

summary: 'Experimental module to add metadata to media in MUCs'
...

# Introduction

This module adds additional metadata to media shared in a MUC. This can help clients
make decisions and provide better UI and enhanced privacy, by knowing things like file
size without needing to make external network requests.

::: {.alert .alert-danger}
**NOTE:** This is an experimental module. It is not supported by any
clients, and therefore is mainly of interest to client developers who
wish to explore the idea.

## Example stanzas

A normal message in a chatroom containing an image:

```
<message from="test@rooms.example.com/matthew" id="9f45a784-5e5b-4db5-a9b3-8ea1d7c1162d" type="groupchat">
  <body>https://matthewwild.co.uk/share.php/70334772-ff74-439b-8173-a71e40ca28db/mam-flow.png</body>
  <x xmlns="jabber:x:oob">

  </x>
</message>
```

The same stanza with this module loaded now contains additional metadata added by the server:

```
<message from="test@rooms.example.com/matthew" id="9f45a784-5e5b-4db5-a9b3-8ea1d7c1162d" type="groupchat">
