I think that the confusion in XMPP was born with components, which have names like sub.example.org and which are locally routed by most servers even if there is no real address associated to them. Therefore in general we think that they are something that exists only in the server namespace -- Fabio Forno, Ph.D. Bluendo srl http://www.bluendo.com jabber id: f...@jabber.bluendo.com
