I agree with Fippo that using hard-coded account/nicks isn't right. This seems to be standard disco all the way - it then doesn't matter what form the JID takes, be it user-style or domain-style. 3.14 seems, at first glance, like it would be a candidate for 55 with extended forms rather than inventing new protocol.
