Note JEP-0025 is very insecure (in fact it is less secure than standard
connections with clear text authentification). There were some discussions
and solutions posted to the standards-jep and council mailing list but up
to now there was no response by the jabber.com people.

I think it would be best to implement one of the proposed protocols that
are secure and to patch the clients supporting HTTP polling. It's not that
much work and should be done NOW.
