As far as I know people from ejabberd and others work on extending
component protocol - XEP-0114. I think it is worth synchronizing efforts.

I am not sure if you are refering to XEP-0114 but all such stuff could
be included in XEP-0114 so all servers could have similar functionality
accessible through the same protocol.

Regarding your extensions. It looks good to me.
I would like to see <route> element defined and added to XEP-0114.

On top of functionality you described in your document I would also
add functionality for activating user session from external component.
The use case:
Let's say the user has a VoIP device which doesn't support XMPP but
the device connects directly to a service which does support XEP-0014.
So when the user (VoIP device) is online the external component could
activate session for the user so presence would be available for the user.
Together with capabilities it would allow VoIP communication for other users
with clients supporting VoIP protocol.
