Please notice, that sending an IQ stanza to a bare JID means sending it
to the server. Only a full JID is a client address for IQ stanzas.

I agree, but the "address of the server" should be the users bare JID.
Maybe in some cases other addressing of the server may be usable, but
with other meaning -- e.g. administrator could read/write private storage
of other users or the server could have own private storage shared or
not associated with any user.

Stanzas addressed from a client's full JID to the same JID and not even
generated by the client seems stupid and not logical to me. We should
get rid of that whereever it is possible. Unfortunately we can't drop it
completely because of backward compatibility.
