[crosspost from xmpp.py list]

I have put together a first pass patch [1] at getting xmpp.py to speak
the jabberd 2.0 Component Protocol [2].

I do not like the way I have hooked the dispatch event. I'm less
horrified, by how I've mangled the send event.  That being said, the
patch *does* work (proven on my server with the yahoo transport).  I
would probably end up doing dispatch a similar way to send, and just
move all the current dispatch code into a new method, which is called
from the old one.  My issues with this are speed (It's bad enough I
had to mangle the send event this way).

I guess in reality the dispatcher needs to be unplugged, and a new one
needs to be inserted in the middle that handels the wrapping and
unwrapping of packets to the router.  All-in-all I think the jabberd2
protocol should be changed so you don't need route stanzas. (all the
other commands should become standard iq, and presence stanzas)

I'm open to comments, and suggestions, so please let me know.
