I'd like to see support for SASL EXTERNAL.

This is a fairly trivial change to JSJaC, but it allows some pretty  
cool things to be done in the HTTP Binding proxy. Basically, you can  
use authentication tokens exchanged at the HTTP layer during the  
XmlHttpRequest to authenticate the backend connection to the Jabber  
server. This lets a Jabber webclient join in an organisation's SSO  
system, in the same way as any other web site.

I have patches to add this - as I said they're trivial, and won't  
affect clients where the server/proxy doesn't add EXTERNAL to the  
list of supported SASL mechanisms.

Cheers,

Simon.
