+summary: Workaround for Dialback with some servers that violate RFC 6120
+...
+
+This module provides a workaround for servers that do not set the `to`
+attribute on stream headers, which is required per [RFC6120]:
+
+> ## 4.7.2. to
+> 
+> For initial stream headers in both client-to-server and
+> server-to-server communication, the initiating entity MUST include the
+> 'to' attribute and MUST set its value to a domainpart that the
+> initiating entity knows or expects the receiving entity to service.
+
+As a side effect of [this issue](https://prosody.im/issues/issue/285),
+Prosody 0.10 will be unable to do [Dialback][xep220] with servers that
+don't follow this.
+
+# Known servers affected

+* Openfire 3.10.2 (and probably earlier versions)
