You weld have to encapsulate the stanzas somehow, at last on the "way
back" because you change the from attribute. If the bot connected to
normal server and just told the component to announce it, it would not
work without encapsulation.

Maybe it would be bettor to allow any JID to act as the host and
recommend servers to have multicasting components so the bots can use
them and don't need to multiply the stanzas themselfs.

God is not capricious or arbitrary.  No such faith comforts the software
engineer.
