Wait.. so <remove/> does NOT remove the account? It merely disables it?
This doesn't jive with the Jabber Protocol Standard document, which
states that "The remove/ flag will remove the account" at
http://docs.jabber.org/proto/html/jabber:iq:register.html.

$ ./userreg -h crack -u 5 -m unregister
opening connection to crack on port 5222
sending '<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?> <stream:stream 
to='crack'  xmlns='jabber:client' 
xmlns:stream='http://etherx.jabber.org/streams' >'
received <?xml version='1.0'?><stream:stream
xmlns:stream='http://etherx.jabber.org/streams' id='3B13C73C'
xmlns='jabber:client' from='crack'>
sending <iq type='set' id='3B13C73C'>  <query
xmlns='jabber:iq:register'>   <remove/>   <username>test_0</username>
