This hasn't really been discussed in any detail. I would suggest joining
the XMPP working group and bringing this question up there:

  http://www.jabber.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xmppwg/

I'm not sure what you mean by this. Can you provide an example?

For backwards compatibility reasons, its not possible to enforce the use
of SASL (and I doubt it ever will be). For guaranteed end-to-end
security, its necessary to encrypt individual packets using GPG (or
similar).

The XMPP working group are actively pursuing these issues. I suggest you
subscribe to the list and get involved :)
