Let's look at distribution of the number of letters in message's body. Note, that it's not a byte length, it's an amount of Unicode symbols. Cyrillic characters are represented using 2 bytes in UTF-8, so some messages can be actually 2 times longer in bytes. Also AFAIK English sentences are generally shorter than Russian, so average message length should be less for servers with English-speaking users.
Here is the plot of length distribution histogram.
It is well-known that the number of letters per word and the number of words per sentence are log-normally distributed, so no wonder this distribution is also log-normal. Green line here plots probability density function (PDF) of Log-N(2.83, 1.15), and you can see it fits actual data pretty good.

Did you also updated the implementation to the latest version of the XEP, and if so, is there some test server available that can be used by client developers to implement support?

Yes, it should be updated, and no servers with it are available yet i think.
We have migrated jabber.org server to ejabberd, because we were looking for an Open Source server that could meet our scalability needs [...], that meant ejabberd.
