XMPP identifiers have domain names, so the XMPP server can check that the DNS SAN matches the domain name of the identifiers in incoming XMPP messages.

I've seen non-XMPP systems where you configure the DNS name to require in the client certificate.

It's possible to do this securely, but I agree entirely with your other comment that using a public PKI with client certs is a recipe for disaster because it's so easy and common to screw up.
