[from http://www.voip-forum.com/asterisk/2008-01/xmpp/ ]:
      * Jabber presence support in the dialplan: By letting your
        Asterisk connect to a Jabber server by using a Jabber account,
        you can add buddies to that account and check the buddies
        presence in the Asterisk dialplan. This way, call routing
        decisions can be based on the status of Jabber accounts. (...)
      * Asterisk as a Jabber module: In a more advanced mode, Asterisk
        can register itself as a module to your Jabber server (as a
        Jabber component). This mode means better integration to Jabber,
        but requires more from the Jabber clients.

	Can an Asterisk server hold logins for multiple Japper accounts on a
remote Jabber server, and carry multiple Jabber calls simultaneously the
way it can carry multiple SIP (or IAX, or ZAP, etc) calls? If so, is
each of those Jabber calls as lightweight as, say, each SIP call? If
not, is there a way to increase the capacity of Asterisk to carry about
as many Jabber calls as it can carry SIP calls?
