Agreed. Normalization is required before JID comparisons or lookups. The question is how. My preferences in order are: 1) a client side library, 2) an in-band service, 3) an out-of-band service. I'd very much like the idea of a Javascript library explored. The client having to call the server back on every single stanza (or less with caching, but still), is suboptimal to say the least. -- Waqas Hussain _______________________________________________ JDev mailing list Info: http://mail.jabber.org/mailman/listinfo/jdev Unsubscribe: [email protected] _______________________________________________
