It's not hacky, it's a clever hack:1. Negotiate a reliable transport (could be a direct TCP connection, could be in-band bytestreams over XMPP, whatever).2. Start an XML stream. 3. Upgrade the stream to encrypted using STARTTLS.You'll notice that this is exactly what we already do for XMPP as defined in RFC 3920. It's just that for end-to-end streams the transport might not be a direct TCP connection as in RFC 3920.
This is hacky as soon as we use it in-band, as that means we need to escape it somehow, and that'll most likely be Base64.
