  URL/URI is used to identify resources.  There is no reason why our current user at domain system will not be able to HAVE a URL.  Just like FTP can use:

ftp://anonymous@ftp.cdrom.com/

  Notice the simularity?

jabber://tcharron@jabber.org/

  Or, in the case of passing a password along:

jabber://tcharron:somepass@jabber.org

  URL is a way to present transport, etc information.  There is no reason to use URL internal to the protocol, IMHO..
