[JDEV] Namespace usage on server

[David Waite]

Two things:

1) the 'to' attribute (as well as the 'id' attribute) are part of the 
jabber:client namespace.
2) namespaces are not used correctly by the server - while the resulting 
stream is well-formed XML and does use namespaces correctly, there is no 
flexibility on *how* you use those namespaces. For instance, if you 
started the stream off with <jabber:stream> instead of <stream:stream>, 
it would have also broken.
