[JDEV] Finding someone's JID

[Thomas Muldowney]

This works fine in many clients right now.  I often search jabber.com's
JUD for informatino.  The privacy issue is moot when the user knowingly
uploads their vCard to the public JUD they are on.  The JUD could also
have been made internal.

On another note, we've looked at mechanisms to try and tie JUDs
together, and it's not a pretty problem.  Maybe something will come
along that can do it.
