Sounds like you'd prefer a centralized server for all of Jabber? Esp. once
you start talking about folding presence into a centralized server... :)

In all seriousness, the solution to this problem _must_ embrace the fact
that Jabber is decentralized. Given the difficulty with creating
decentralized datastores, my guess would be that we will have to adapt
some of the search protocols currently used on p2p networks and create a
federation of JUDs that cross-search each other. It wouldn't be perfect,
but  it's better than what we have.

My $0.02.
