Ian Paterson has pointed out before that non-SASL authentication is 
quite a useful protocol, in that it enables coders to quickly connect to 
a server for testing purposes (wow, I'm connected, XMPP is easy, now I 
can figure out how this SASL stuff works). So I think it would always be 
good for server codebases to implement it (perhaps as an add-on module) 
and for libraries to include support for it. But at some point (2008, 
2009?) we may want to discourage production services from deploying it.
