According to RFC 2782 it means the service xmpps-client is not available at
this domain. So I think the answer should be the former. If there is a similar
record for xmpp-client, though, you can't connect the regular way either. Maybe
there's still another binding (BOSH, WebSocket) that could succeed, but
defining all possible permutations is a bit much.
