I think you have hit on another problem as well. How do we describe a Jabber Server? There is no standard mark-up language for it. XMPP probably wouldn't embed (or at least, I hope not) homegrown XML standards into a public RSS feed. Somebody needs to approach the Jabber Council to get a Jabber Server Markup Language into the works.
For the time-being, it looks like you're going to have to stick to screen scraping HTML, or: All known 'registerable' servers: http://www.jabber.org/servers.xml I am going to go out on a limb here, but I think you should be able to query an official Jabber server somewhere for the features of each server, because it looks like that list of jabber servers is auto-generated. Any other ideas?
