	Yes. I think this is something almost everyone deals with at some  
point, and an easy guide would probably go a long way to smoothing  
that out.

	Also, a test s2s server, graciously donated by some kind soul on the  
internet would also be useful, as one could use it for diagnosis.  
Something like an s2s validator. Or: call me crazy, but an XMPP-wide  
validator, for RFC/XEP compliance, and so forth. There are also areas  
in the way of the Route Arbiter that might be useful, should our  
lovely community grow large enough.

	In case my case isn't clear: I am /all/ for hand-holding everyone all  
the way through the process (provided I, personally, don't have to  
hold any hands). The easier this gets the faster we can take over the  
world!
