Realistically, it is not horrible, and I'm guessing Jabber only has it to compete with ICQ (the only legacy system that also has in-band registration, AFAIK), but it does put extra effort on the client and server developers. If we axe in-band registration, we can shift the effort to the administrators, who can develop pretty websites that guide the user along. This would also simplify client development, as there would be less of a need for new user wizards, explanation of what a JID is, etc, as the pretty website would take care of it.+1 !
Users really need a bit more guidance, preferably in their mother tongue. IMO a website on the public servers would be great and it is also in concordance with the 'simple client, complex server'-paradigm.
