[JDEV] nested group

[Joe Hildebrand]

Your client could just use "/" as a delimiter, and use group names like
this:

 <iq type="set">
   <query xmlns="jabber:iq:roster">
      <item jid="foo at bar.com" name="Foo">
         <group>Corporate/Engineering/Laboratory</group>
      </item>
   </query>
</iq>

There would be no server changes needed, and clients that didn't know the
naming standard would continue to work adequately.
