Interestingly enough, I was discussing these issues with a server
developer last night, and he devised a similar solution.

Honestly, as cool as it would be to see official support in a JEP for
this, I agree that it's probably unnecessary because, like you said, it's
not really a protocol issue. It's simply a difference in how the socket
communication works.

Flash alone, in its current state, will never totally be XMPP compliant.
It's limited in capabilities in this matter and I'll just have to accept
that - no SSL is a big one.

I did manage to get Flash into not appending the terminating slash / to
the opening <stream:stream> tag, so it's really just a matter of the
zero-byte.
