[JDEV] Possible values for <iq>'s id attribute

[Lyndon Mark Durham]

Greetings Jabber Developers,
                                             I have noticed that in the
documenatation for authentication that the examples use an id="1" or id
set to some uniquevalue.  Nonehteless while testing authetication using
random id numbers the server always returns an <iq type='error'>. I have
also noticed that the an id is sent back when sucessfully  opening an
XML stream to communicate with a jabber server- is this returned id the
one that the server expects when attempting to create a resource through
IQ authentication? Or are there other id's that can be used. TIA>
