Then how do we do interop testing of s2s with Dialback, if we're only
using TLS?  I propose every server run both:

   djabber.ssl.interop.xmpp.org
   djabber.cleartext.interop.xmpp.org

Then we can force all interactions of SSL-vs-not between any two products.

Or how do we test client<->server in-band registration?  (admittedly much
less of an issue than the TLS one...)
