[jdev] anonymous login

[Daniel Dura]

I agree that this would be extremely useful. It would really streamline the
process where applications built using Jabber require 'Guest' logins. Right
now that process seems a little complex.

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.
