  Err, I KINDA see your point here..  ;-P  See below for more..

  I would see the 'one shot' messages as being an anonymous connection, as I 
was asking about before..  I wouldn;t want to have tio hardcode a userid and 
password into a program, just connect and send an anonymous message to a user.  
Anonymous messages would need to include SOME sort of from in the message, but 
not a from as in from a full fledged user..

>   <say>test</say>
> </message>
> </jabber>

  Actually, this has merit.  A type on the jabber document tag specifying the 
'kind' of stream this is.  Perhaps 'temporary' is a better type then one-shot.  
Basically, this 'type' could be a way to signal..  "Don;t send me messages, etc 
here, and don;t announce me, I'm just sending a quickie, and then 
disconnecting".

> <?xml version="1.0"?>
> <jabber type="session">
> <login>
>   <user>jeremie</user>
>   <pass>Ph0niks</pass>
>   <nick>jabalot</nick>
> </login>
> <message>
>   <to>jeremie</to>
>   <say>test</say>
> </message>
> </jabber>

  I'd say type would be optional, with no type, defaults to a full fledged 
session..

  Yes, I like this, but I wouldn;t name it one-shot.  I'd say temporary is a 
better descrition type..

  Ideas, people?
