In many XMPP applications it is desirable to be able to act anonymously to
prevent leaking personally identifiable information (PII) to a third party.
Traditionally this is accomplished using SASL authentication and the
ANONYMOUS mechanism as detailed in &xep0175;, however, ANONYMOUS auth
provides no mechanism for changing identities (requesting a new JID) without
creating a new session, nor does it provide authentication of users.

This specification solves these problems by decoupling anonymous identity
management from authentication.
management from authentication (auth) and authorization (authz).
This allows logged in users (authenticated or anonymous at the server
operators disgression) to request a new temporary identifier, a "burner"
JID, which may be used by its owner to construct a new session with the
server that is anonymous to third parties but is (optionally) locally
authenticated.

It may be impractical to store verification information for every burner JID
issued by the system.

To this end servers that implement this specification MAY choose to encode
information into the localpart of issued burner JIDs which can be verified
when a user attempts to authorize a new session to use the burner JID.
If an implementation chooses to do this it is RECOMMENDED that an
