Hmm, so your implementation does not support DIGEST-MD5?
Note that XMPP Core requires implementing this.

The Google Talk Service does not support DIGEST-MD5.

To implement DIGEST-MD5, a server must store the user's password as
plain text or store a specific hash of the user name and password.
DIGEST-MD5 might take some work to implement if a server does not
store passwords in one of these two formats to begin with.

We have two options:

1. Accept that Google Talk is not fully compliant with RFC 3920.

2. In rfc3920bis, change the must-implement to specify something other than DIGEST-MD5 (perhaps advisable anyway, given recent demonstration of problems with MD5).
