[JDEV] JavaJabber Server Docs

[David Waite]

I would actually agree here. Nothing like a radically different 
implementation to point out things which are implementation-specific 
which were taken for granted. One of the fears I had was that the 
'newer' server developer would hit a lot of problems trying to implement 
something like 'presence' based on existing docs, and implementation 
just based on docs would create something which a lot of clients which 
have hacked against the implementation would not agree with. It would be 
a really bad if trying to do a different implementation caused them to 
get flak for implementing things in an incompatible way.

Luckily, I believe that Jabelin is considering starting a new server 
implementation and architecture themselves, meaning that it won't 
necessarily be 'us vs. them' when it comes to something that is 
implemented differently due to lack of specs. I really hope that people 
doing the actual implementation work are disciplined enough to document 
things they misunderstand :-)
