[JDEV] More on namespaces in jabberd

[Dave Smith]

Again, due to the fact that _none_ of the current Jabber source handles namespaces properly, nothing using namespaces like this will work..

This is a rather large fix to effect -- it requires a lot of code to be
examined to deal with namespaces when processing packets. At this point,
it's probably easiest to just start handling these issues in the jabelin implementation.
