Ok, so the thing inside the <host> tag should be a DNS
resolvable name, correct? This seems to work:
<host>localhost</host>
Is the service id= just an identifier? That is, it isn't a DNS
resolvable name? Should that be the same as the jid? Does it
have any relation to a jid? Is the service id the concatenation
of the jid and the hostname?

Ok, thank you for that info. Using psi, I can now do a 'Service
Discovery' and see the entry for
MSN Transport msn.myhost.mycompany.com
but the registration key is not illuminated (probably due to
above naming mis-match?).
