The JSF is working on compliance although right now it is in quiet 
development and and the first compliance testing target is servers not 
clients. Client testing ends up being a lot harder than server testing 
so we punted and went for servers. I definitely agree there is need for 
client compliance testing. I've Cc'd the compliance-jig@ list and I'd 
love to have you follow up there. We have a jabbercollab project setup 
for compliance already if you're interested in joining the team, let me 
know. You can always sub to the compliance-jig list to get the 
discussion going. If we start creating code then perhaps a jabberstudio 
project would be needed.

The JSF is eager to get client compliance testing underway but simply 
don't have the resources to do it (primarily people's time - we can get 
funding if there is things that need funding).
