Comment(by darkrain42):

 Replying to [comment:5 SgtPepper]:
 > As far as not wanting to add another setting to the advanced tab for
 XMPP: Is it really a problem to add a fairly self-explanatory setting
 there that doesn't ''have'' to be populated?  There would be no more text
 fields for XMPP than there are for other protocols (I'm looking at Yahoo!
 right now, and it has 5 text fields - which is the same as XMPP would have
 with this field).

 We fairly often have people confused about the fields that are already
 there (which I find self-explanatory!), and in fact are confused over the
 fact things on the Advanced tab can be left at the default value of blank,
 so I do think this would cause some confusion (though at the same time, I
 acknowledge attempting to appeal to the ''lowest'' common denominator is
 foolish) -- I would imagine there just aren't that many (as a percentage)
 XMPP users who use user directories.

 I do like QuLogic's suggestion.
