In the past this has been difficult as the default user store has not been a database, and the open-source jabber server has done very optimistic caching. With jabberd2, it should be possible to just add users to the database via other applications.
jabber:iq:register does not provide a machine-discoverable way the get the user to the proper webpage - Should the standards-track register protocol be expanded to include this?

Maybe the issue comes down to jabber:iq:register being incompatible with any SASL mechanism that does not use plaintext passwords. If we nix iq:register, does the problem go away? Maybe then the admin has to make a choice between supporting anonymous registrations vs having a more-secure system.
Maybe there is a good reason why user registration occurs outside the protocol in other systems. I think in-band registration is fine for
registering with components, but doesn't make sense for registering your
main IM account.
