Well, I agree that we could keep both authentication methods. However,
I can see two reasons not to keep the non-SASL authentication method :
- that would simplify the code (jabber_make_auth() would disappear, as
well as some occurrences of 'usesasl');
- the standards recommend not to use it for clients (see
http://www.xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0078.html), and put the burden of
compatibility on the servers (see
http://www.xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0073.html).

Matt, what would you think about keeping both methods for the 1.4
series, and only SASL for trunk?

Philippe
