Also if we are going to redo flash support, its probably a good idea to
define it properly as a protocol extension rather than leaving it as a hack,
since it is more than just null terminating the xml stanza's.

The flash support needs to handle the following:

1) Null terminating stanza's
2) Complete stanza's (i.e. we cant do the normal stream stuff, so its
probably a good idea to create a new namespace for flash connections)

e.g.

<stream:stream to='example.com' xmlns='jabber:client:flash'
xmlns:stream='http://etherx.jabber.org/streams'/>

Since

<stream:stream to='example.com' xmlns='jabber:client'
xmlns:stream='http://etherx.jabber.org/streams'>

will not work with flash because the stanza has been left open and not
closed, also might have a hard job doing the SASL stuff in a flash client.
