You don't understand... We're talking about components, not clients. I agree
that ALL XMPP clients will use SASL, but we have no idea what various servers
will use to connect up their components. It just so happens, that j2 uses SASL.
Other servers may, or may not use it.. They could use something completely
different, or they could just continue to use the protocol layed out in:
