Yes, I've been doing some ngrep of XMPP flow and it seems really simpler than 
SIMPLE. However it also seems strictly designed to the typical osage of an 
user who opens its XMPP software, manages his buddies (permissions and so), 
sends messages and participates in chat rooms.

While this covers 95% of the required cases, I'm not sure if XMPP is enough 
flexible and extensible to cover other future areas in which presence is more 
than "alice is online but bob cannot view alice's status as he's blocked by 
her".
