Hi,
I asked the following to the XMPP standards discussion list (regarding whether the Openfire
behavior of omitting the encapsulating <option/> around a list-single <field/> in the form
returned for default node config) and received the
following reply from one of the specifications authors (which indicated the behavior should
be corrected):

When the form is of type "form", then a field of type "list-single" or
"list-multi" MUST contain only <option/> children (not <value/>
children). When the form is of type "submit" then the child element is
<value/>. It seems that this is not perfectly clear, so we'll fix that up.
