So the question is, can I get my non-public registration server onto the map? I think this is a useful idea because is shows your server as part of the federation, even if signups are non-public.
I assume the best way to do this would to pull the xmpp federation's atom feed (with geolocation info!), and then I can just add my server to the list there.
