Well, iq:register is not in xmpp-core, and it is not clear how it is even used for account registration within an xmpp 1.0 environment. As far as I know, JEP-0077 is 'Informational' documentation of Jabber 0.9. If we intend to keep inband registration in use with xmpp, then the JEP should detail how this is done (or we get a Standards Track JEP). > So I tell my private jabber server, that doesn't allow outside connections > (the optional feature), to allow for in band registration (another optional > feature).

I don't think this justifies keeping inband registration. Your example is interesting, and inband registration could work here, however maybe something else could be more appropriate? For instance, Apple's iChat uses the zeroconf protocol to discover nearby users and talk to them using Jabber in a peer-to-peer (s2s-like) fashion. Perhaps this is how automated devices should operate. If we'd rather things be centralized, maybe the devices would log into a Jabber server using SASL ANONYMOUS (a feature Rob recently added to jabberd2). -Justin _______________________________________________ jdev mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mailman.jabber.org/listinfo/jdev
