It is not a registered namespace because the protoJEP was never even 
published as a JEP, let alone advanced through the JSF's standards 
process. The Jabber Council at the time had some feedback for the author 
of the "protoJEP":

https://www.jabber.org/standards-jig/2004-September/006368.html

However, the author did not respond to the questions or provide an 
updated version of his proposal. But he did say that he would implement 
it in his gateway projects:

https://www.jabber.org/standards-jig/2004-September/006328.html

So it is a kind of custom or non-standard protocol that uses an XML 
namespace with a jabber.org URI, which seems potentially confusing.

Yes.
