It seems that the jabber server does nothing to prevent users from
querying the contents of private namespaces of other users.
 
If user A has set data in a private ns "test:private". User B can
get at that data by issuing the following info query.
 
<iq to="A@server" type="get" id="blah"><query xmlns="test:private"/></iq>
 
user B will get back whatever is in that ns.
 
Is this by design?!? It seems like a major security hole to me.
