I'm not actually using the predefined namespace in a non-standard way.
I'm implementing a private data store for my non-IM clients with
additional features above those offered by jabberd. I'd like to do that
with a standard server (without modifying the source code). 

If jabberd v2 passes my iq packets on to clients, then the developers
have properly implemented JEP-0049. If a 'to' attribute exists then the
server should honor it. In v1.4.3, I don't know why this namespace is
handled like a special case.

There's no need to 're-invent the wheel' here.

Rob thanks for replying on the return mod_PASS question. I'll get
jabberd2 running and get back to coding.
