I think that it mades sense to have a list of federated servers. It can be 
useful for other things. But maybe there should be some aditional information 
about the servers (if they support in-band registration), or maybe several 
lists (e.g. one for all servers, another one for servers wich support 
in-band...)

Also, if in-band registration is going to be less used by servers until the 
implementation of XEP-0158 (captchas) in servers and clients, it could be 
also useful to provide the registration address as a child element in the 
list.
