+    <p>Account creation via HTTP enables clients that do not support account creation via XMPP but are able to query the web registration URL to provide that URL to its users. Furthermore, providing a web registration URL in addition to support for account creation via XMPP leaves the decision which way to use for registration to the client or even to the user. That approach does not limit future development as the former one did which recommended to provide either account creation via XMPP or a web registration URL. It also allows clients that are only used for aggregating data about servers to check whether a server supports account creation via XMPP while retrieve its web registration URL.</p>
