[JDEV] jabber:xdb:nslist namespace

[David Waite]

Wow, I didn't even know about this one until you pointed it out. This is
a server-specific namespace, used to store a list of custom data for a
user. The writing code is in mod_xml.c (as part of JSM), when a new
namespace is written it adds an entry to this list. It does not look
like there is a way to remove an entry from the list. The only purpose
of this list within the server is for reporting public data about a
user.

A typical entry might look like:

<ns>vcard-temp</ns>

and there is an optional attribute 'type' with one value, 'private'. If
this is set, the item does not show up in a browse request. A base tag
is never set; you can assume the server will choose one automatically
such as 'foo'.

as far as documentation.. I think this here was a stab at it. I imagine
you just wanted to know the structure so that you could store the values
within a relational database; this is not standard across server
implementations, and as it is not officially documented anywhere, it
could change in future releases of the jabber.org server :-)
