Hi.

You understand the headers exchange type fine. However, this example is 
badly out of date.

STOMP says very little about broker semantics. Prior to RabbitMQ 2.2.0, 
the STOMP adapter implemented a very AMQP-ish set of semantics. This 
allowed you to use all the flexibility of AMQP over STOMP, but it was 
badly incompatible with what the other STOMP brokers (in particular 
ActiveMQ) were doing.

In RabbitMQ 2.2.0 we rewrote the STOMP adapter to use semantics that 
were much more similar to what other brokers do. Unfortunately this 
meant you could not longer bind a queue to an exchange with binding 
arguments via STOMP. This makes the headers exchange type rather less 
useful over STOMP. You can predeclare queues and bind them using AMQP or 
HTTP, and then SUBSCRIBE via STOMP, but that's obviously not ideal.

Unfortunately this example predates this change. We should probably just 
remove it.

Cheers, Simon
