I'm realizing that I don't know enough about <route/> packets... If I 
send a bare <message/> from the component (using the jabber:client 
namespace, is it ok?) the message just disappear whithin the router.

In http://jabberd.jabberstudio.org/dev/docs/component.shtml I read that 
messages should be sent using <route/> elements, as in this example:

<route from='s2s' to='conference.jabber.org'>
   <message xmlns='jabber:client' to='jdev at conference.jabber.org/rob' 
from='rob at cataclysm.cx/laptop' type='groupchat'>
     <body>oh, how I wish we could kick people</body>
   </message>
</route>

In my attempts only the name of the component name changes, I really 
don't understand what's worng.

Are there other sources for better learning <route/> elements?
