[JDEV] External component and s2s

[David Waite]

Unfortunately, components (in 1.4.2 and 2.0) are bound only to dns, and 
have free reign over the user/node and resource parts of the JID. 
Because JIDs have hard limits on length, there is no 'translation' 
strategy which will allow all JIDs a component might want to be 
translated.

XMPP addresses are based solely on DNS (you cannot even specify an 
alternate port #), and the 1.4/2.0 implementations rely on different 
services being able to have complete control over a domain. You really 
need to have one DNS entry per exposed service.
