[JDEV] Weird syntax of jabber:iq:browse results

[Peter Millard]

The examples in the JPO are incorrect, as you say, but not by very much..
the only thin missing is the xmlns attribute in the "root" tag of the
result. <iq> tags do not REQUIRE a <query> tag be the first child element,
all processing should be based on the namespace of the first child tag.. The
first example in the JPO SHOULD read:

<iq type="result" from="jabber.org">
  <service type="jabber" jid="jabber.org" xmlns="jabber:iq:browse">
    <service
        type="jud"
        jid="users.jabber.org"
        name="Jabber User Directory">
      <ns>jabber:iq:register</ns>
      <ns>jabber:iq:search</ns>
    </service>
    <service
        type="aim"
        jid="aim.jabber.org"
        name="AIM Transport">
      <ns>jabber:iq:register</ns>
      <ns>jabber:iq:search</ns>
    </service>
    <conference
        type="private"
        jid="conference.jabber.org"
        name="Private Chatrooms">
    </service>
  </service>
</iq>
