[jdev] anonymous login

[Dan Plesse]

For my app I just use a random number generator to create a JID for each new
visitor. I had to do this because each new visitor would disconnect the last
visitor.

There are also cases where you just want the server to pick a full JID
for you, and ANONYMOUS is overkill.  Customers coming in to a customer
service site is a good example.

It may make sense to come up with a UNIQUE SASL mechanism that tells
the server to create a new, unique JID, good for one shot.
