I'm
actually more interested in the server-to-server part of this. If we have
a server running at jabber.foo.org, then I won't be able to talk to that person
from my jabber.com account. When I add [EMAIL PROTECTED] to my roster using my jabber.com
account, jabber.com tries to make a server-to-server connection to
foo.org.

said it before, the client can still not find the server without using MX/SRV-lookup.
...unless the user explicitly tells it what server to connect to, probably by entering the server name in a preference dialog. Which is exactly what people are used to from email clients: my address may be "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" but I have to enter "mail.mac.com" as the IMAP host in my account setup dialog.
But I agree it's nice for the client to be able to determine this itself. Do any of the existing open-source Unix clients do this SRV lookup, so I can look up [sic] how it's done?
