Marketing came up with a crazy idea that needed killing.
The one sliver of RFC 6120 that gave any hope life to this horrid beast was:
8.1.1.2.2. The domainpart of the JID contained in the stanza's 'to'
attribute MUST match the FQDN of the receiving server (or any
validated domain thereof)...
One could read "any validated domain" quite broadly, so I wanted to check that
I wasn’t missing anything.

Subject: Re: [Operators] transitive federations?
Out of curiosity, do you have a specific need for relaying or "transitive
federations"?
In general, if domain A is openly federated, it should be able to communicate
directly with other domains such as B, C, D, E, ... without prior
administrative configuration.
To maximize the likelihood that other domains will communicate directly with
domain A, A may want to follow a few best practices, such as:
* have DNS SRV records,
* enable encryption,
* have TLS/SSL certs for each server issued from a recognized CA, and
* have TLSA (DANE) records in a DNSSEC-secured zone. (in case other domain
operators choose to not trust your selected CA but may instead trust DANE for
cert validation...)
Anyone else have tips?
