[JDEV] nested group

[Mike Mintz]

If there is some specification/doc/JEP on groups somewhere, could we add a 
section recommending the use of slashes (or something else) for hierarchy?  
Otherwise, we'll end up with different clients being incompatible with 
hierarchy rosters, like one using a.b.c and one using a/b/c and one using 
<group name="a"><group name="b"><group name="c"/></group></group>, and 
standardization would solve this.
