It seems wrong to compare iq:auth to SASL or to say that iq:auth is less secure. SASL PLAIN over an unencrypted connection is less secure than iq:auth with digest password, whereas SASL EXTERNAL is probably more secure than iq:auth. It all depends on the mechanism used. Therefore I think it would be more accurate to describe the reasons for changing to SASL and remove the misleading text about iq:auth being less secure.
