[JDEV] JavaJabber Server Docs

[Jay Lorenzo]

I hear what you guys are saying, and that makes sense to me, particullarly
if the IETF path is ever revisited.

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 :-)
