No, anonymous login is not implemented in jabberd 1.4.4. But even if it 
would, I don't think that the above stanza is a valid Jabber protocol. 
The jabber:iq:auth namespace is defined by JEP-0078, and this JEP does 
not define anonymous logins. I think having an empty <query 
xmlns='jabber:iq:auth'/> is a proprietary extension of the jabber.com 
and Jive server implementations.

The "official" way to login anonymously is to use SASL ANONYMOUS 
authentication. - Which is neither implemented in jabberd 1.4.4, but 
will be supported soon.
