[JDEV] Transports new approach

[Aaron Johnson]

I am came in late in this thread, but was interested by the instance information.

Does Jabber support multiple "instances" on one server, that is keeps
configurations seperate for each.
So you could have two people with the some name on the server, but they would be
under different instances?
