> What is TLS?

TLS stands for Transport Level Security. As I understand it, it's a
way of negotiating SSL on an open TCP socket. In XMPP, it kind of goes
like this (Server S, Client C):

S: <features><starttls></features> -- offering TLS capability
C: <starttls> -- wants to start TLS
S: <proceed>
C: switches connection to SSL, then starts a new XMPP stream

(Of course, I've left out the namespaces. You can find those in RFC
3920, if you care.)

Regards,

Manuzhai
