[JDEV] Transport Decisions

[Peter Saint-Andre]

There used to be DTDs for all the Jabber XML but the streams one got 
lost in a website transition. I've archived all the DTDs here:

http://www.saint-andre.com/jabber/dtds/

David Waite has put together some preliminary schemas, which he sent me 
the other day. I'll check 'em over and post both the DTDs and the 
schemas to an appropriate place on jabber.org ASAP.
