Both.  Unless you need any special delivery semantics you should be able 
to embed your custom namespace in <iq> or <message> tags, which will be 
passed to the server without any interference.  If you do need any 
special semantics, or need to communitate with a non-XMPP network then 
writting a transport is probably a better bet than hacking the server 
code.  It will also make your `secret project' more portable if you 
decide to use a different transport in the future.

No, I actually did mean don't.  Most protocol enhancements will not

however, means that you are likely to need to modify jabberd to get 
the kind of performance you are going to need.  Of course if you do 
need the server to do something special then jabberd may still be the 
best option...


David, by this do you mean that any extensions to the server can be 
handled by jabber components, rather than through any changes to the 
server code itself?  Or will jabber faithfully transmit 'custom' XML 
messages it receives on to clients, even if the server itself has no 
idea what the message means?
