sip may have technical merits, but we can't decide what clients users
choose to use and looks like there is a lot more jabber im/p users than
sip im/p users.  therefore my point was that it would be a big advantage
to openser if openser platform would include a full blown xmpp server
for both c2s and s2s use.  that way we could integrate sip and xmpp
presence info and im messages into same db tables.
