as peter mentioned you need it for auth and dialback. You also need the stream tag to detect the stream version and detecting/caching the xml namespaces. So it depends on the your software design and xml parser what you do with this tag. http://www.xmpp.org/specs/rfc3920.html#streams Alex _______________________________________________ jdev mailing list jdev@jabber.org http://mail.jabber.org/mailman/listinfo/jdev
