The XMPP Extensions Editor has received a proposal for a new XEP.
Title: Component Connections
Abstract: This document specifies a standards-track XMPP protocol extension
that enables server components to connect to XMPP servers.
URL: http://www.xmpp.org/extensions/inbox/component.html
The XMPP Council will decide at its next meeting whether to accept this
proposal as an official XEP.
What exactly does binding a hostname mean ? Multiple component JID's
over the same stream ? If yes, why exactly do we need it ?
Also, since there seems to be no restriction on what can be bound, it
can potentially bind valid s2s domains ... unlike the current component
jid which is preconfigured at the server.
Also, how would this interact with dix [1] ? Not sure of the state of
that submission - but just the support for multiple resources made it
very useful proposal.
