[JDEV] Jabber - Scripting Language

[stpeter]

Yes, that's what I was thinking.

So let's say I want all jabber messages from the icq.jabber.org domain to
be sent to /dev/null (since all I ever get through the ICQ Transport is
spam). Well, I could do that by matching an XPath expression -- something
along the lines of message/@from contains icq.jabber.org, although in the
correct syntax of course :)

Something like this wouldn't handle every case, but I think it would get
us part of the way there.
