[JDEV] IQ queries sent to client vs. handled by server?

  The 'to' JID?  An example would be a jabber:iq:browse message.  If I browse 
to 'tcharron at jabber.org', server handles it.  If I browse 
to 'tcharron at jabber.org/WinJab', it goes to the resource.  If you want it 
handles by the client, address it to a resource.  If not, directly to the JID 
alone.  This also depends on the modules handling it on the server, though, as 
to if they want to allow it to pass, or simply eat every message in sight that 
it thinks it owns..
