If the read domain name isn't part of the jid (like in evan%40adiumx.com at pidgin.im
), the system does not use valid XMPP, and thus I don't quite see why
the XMPP plugin should support that.
Of course, you could implement another plugin that does an SRV lookup
first, and then passes the result as the host to connect to to the
regular libpurple xmpp implementation.
