[jdev] Scope of current RFC3920 SASL implementation

Hello!
I'm just putting some specs together for a project I'll be working on,
and I was wondering...
XMPP RFC3290 specifies SASL namespaces and implementation within the
scope of authenticating init-to-responder streams. Can this namespace be
used at a lower level?
I've read through the SASL sections, and it doesn't actually say that
the authentication scheme cannot be used in-band to communicate with a
remote host?
The situation is that I'm got to build a client and component to do some
notification magic. The 'client' part however might be on jabber.org, or
another xmpp server entirely.
So, I know it's probably unsupported by most if not all the clients, but
is it possible to re-use SASL namespaces to authenticate a user against
a remote XMPP component using SASL?
