Bare JID

FullJID. JID might be acceptable but I would recommend that you use  
either full or bare.

Node identifier.

In some contexts username might be appropriate.

yes. More specifically, resource identifier.

domain identifier or just domain.

domain identifier or just domain.

Not sure what you mean here. This is not even a valid stanza. There is  
no "node" in the top level <iq />

In the context of a MUC service, yes.

No, in the context of the MUC spec, this is a participant JID.

Yes, start here: http://xmpp.org/rfcs/rfc3920.html#addressing

Maybe peter can answer that, I don't remember anymore...


> What's the big difference between IQ and MESSAGE?

IQ is a request-response mechanism, message is fire-and-forget. Thats  
the most basic difference. As you walk up the protocol stack there  
will be others (routing is handled differently, etc).

May I suggest that you purchase a copy of the XMPP book? Not  
affiliated, just a happy customer:
