Our on-boarding process is nothing like as easy as the somewhat commonplace "Download app, run app, do some registration dance" - instead it's "Download app, go to some website, go to some other website and try to figure out how to create an account, configure app." It was better - for the user - when XEP-0077 was commonplace, since at least a client should ship with a list of servers. Of course, that level of simplicity brought its own problems, but I think we could make that process a lot smoother without compromising security entirely. Dave.
