Eh, it's their library. They can call it whatever they want and do whatever they want with it. Of course if people run away with the "misunderstanding" then I guess it was meant to be, and it will be the defacto standard (like so many other retarded technologies out in the world or word-to-company associations).

Folks, realize that component protocols are SERVER IMPLEMENTATION SPECIFIC.
So the library should NOT be named Net::XMPP, it should be named something
like Net::jabberd2. Also components built using this protocol will not work
other servers (ie, jabberd 1.4).


That's true, but what's the point in putting an entire login procedure into a
package called Net::Jabberd2, when you will be putting exactly the same code
in for an XMPP client library? (i.e., they will both be using SASL.)



You don't understand... We're talking about components, not clients. I agree that ALL XMPP clients will use SASL, but we have no idea what various servers will use to connect up their components. It just so happens, that j2 uses SASL. Other servers may, or may not use it.. They could use something completely different, or they could just continue to use the protocol layed out in: http://www.jabber.org/jeps/jep-0114.html
