Not really. It's a hybrid protocol--while peer-to-peer connections are 
used for some functions, the core presence and messaging involves 
connections to a server.

Unfortunately, the Jabber protocol is somewhat baroque. The designers 
decided to make it use stream-based XML, instead of plain text like most 
other Internet handshaking protocols. This makes it hard to build a 
Jabber server (or client for that matter)--you can't use validating XML 
parsers, for example, because you need to be able to parse fragments 
that don't constitute a complete document with a DTD. It's about the 
second worst Internet protocol I've seen. (The worst is SyncML.)

Anyhow, I think it's pretty funny to be rejecting code based on lack of 
tests, when there's an almost complete lack of documentation.
