Hmmm... Why the seperation?  Shouldn't we be able to make just one module
operate in both modes, where you can just create an object for each
connection?  Or am I misunderstanding something?

Well, 90% of the work in the transport module is 100% etherx stuff and not
directly related to Jabber at all.  I had registered the Net::Etherx
namespace with CPAN, and Jabber specific stuff could be in
Net::Etherx::Jabber for transports.

I had also registered Net::Jabber for the client stuff, since that is
simple and goes along with the rest of the Net:: namespace(mostly clients
for other protocols).

Hmmm... technically, yes, but I can't think of a reason why, since you can
use one transport to do just as much as multiple ones...
