I am surprised about the design. Why inflate the SASL mechanism
namespace? Wouldn't something like


<stream:features>
  <mechanisms xmlns='urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:xmpp-sasl'>
    <mechanism>EXTERNAL</mechanism>
    <mechanism>SCRAM-SHA-1-PLUS</mechanism>
    <mechanism>SCRAM-SHA-1</mechanism>
    <mechanism>PLAIN</mechanism>
  </mechanisms>
  <sasl-channel-binding
    xmlns='urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:xmpp-sasl'
    required='false'
    >
    <channel-binding>tls-unique</channel-binding>
  </sasl-channel-binding>
</stream:features>

Be way simpler and better?
