I don't know which clients have implemented this for account creation, however.

I'm trying to make my Jabber server require people registering an
account enter an e-mail address for password retrieval and such (in
practice, it might be too obnoxious to _require_ this, but that's
beside the point). From JEP-0077, I imagined that I would just add an <email/> tag to the registration form, and return a <not- acceptable/>
error if the form is inadequately filled out.

However, neither Psi 0.9.3, Gajim 0.8.2, nor tkabber 0.9.8 liked that idea. They all stayed with their own ideas of how a registration form
would look, and failed to register an account.

In the old days (and possibly still today), clients often bolted account registration onto an existing login dialog with a simple checkbox saying "register the account". If checked, the client would attempt to create the account based on the login information you provide, prior to logging in as
normal.

You could still have done this way, with one additional step:
If some more fields are required, popup a small dialog "This server
requires additional information to register" with the extra fields.
