Currently, http://jabber.org/ does not resolve. I don't know that it has 
ever resolved, so I don't think this has changed recently. Fixing this 
is on the TODO list for the jabber.org admin team but I don't have an 
ETA for completion of this task. If you have suggestions for how to fix 
this problem, please contact me offlist (xmpp:stpeter at jabber.org).

Thanks.
