[JDEV] Namespace usage on server

[Dave Smith]

Actually, what you are seeing is broken behaviour in Jabber's handling
of namespaces. In keeping with the XML 1.0 and XML Namespaces spec,
specifying the namespace on a per packet basis is perfectly acceptable.
Unfortunately, up to this point, the Jabber server doesn't process
namespaces at all (at least, in a correct manner) and hence you get
unexpected behaviour when you move the namespace declarations around.

At some point, someone will have to fix this.. :)
