What guarantees does jabberd give of a particular message's full and
successful propagation through the p2p network, i.e. of it's arrival at
all the nodes? This is basically a 2-phase commit, and though for some
services it may not be worth the overhead, other services (e.g., auth)
will probably need a strong guarantee of sane behavior in pathological
cases like splits.

This is a question I've been wrestling with for a while in regards to 
macs. It's a pretty thorny set of issues, but I don't see any reference 
to it at the jabber site?

Cheers!
