:-) -- maybe SIP extension writers can learn from xmpp where they go 
first for prototype implementation and then to standardization.

You are right, there are cool specification, but many do not map 
properly to reality.

I think a competing open protocol is good all the time, makes things 
improve in both sides. Apart of that, sip and xmpp does not really 
match, SIP is more a routing-like protocol, while xmpp is a content-like 
protocol. XMPP network exist and cannot be ignored.

A good usability of xmpp protocol will be communication between various 
points of your environment, sip servers, web servers, etc...

Cheers,
Daniel
