  A little of both?  ;-P  JabberClient will be used for both.  JabberClient::Login would return a Session object, which would still be using JabberClient, but it'd be a nice attractive 'handle' to one particular user..  Aka, it's contain the login name, nick, status, etc, of that particular user.  They are BOTH handled thru JabberConnection, but it could do something like this:

$User_u = $Connection->Login("u", "p");

  Then you could

$User_u->SendMessage(to something about someone);

$User_u->SetStatus("away");

  It's just a handle to the data of what users are logged into the multiclient..

  It could be a way to pass additional data.  Let's look at the IRC transport.  I could have ONE irc transport, but @undernet, @efnet, @slashnet, @someothernetthatsomeonedreamedup registered, and be able to get 'more data' by what transport it was destined to.  I COULD merely have one trqansport for each net, but it would be nice if one transport could be registered under several 'names'..
