noooooo!!!

SIP & XMPP integration is a hack!! It's just a dirty workaround,
nothing else. It requires management and maintenance of two different
protocols, two different QoS, two authentication mechanims... what
about dialog subscriptions for call pickup and so? dialgo presence
with SIP and user presence with XMPP? oh nooo please....

Yes, it's true that until now the only feasible IM and presence
solution is XMPP, but we are in SIP side! and we must extend the usage
of SIP for IM and presence (even if implementations are not mature
yet...). We must help in the adoption of SIMPLE/XCAP under feasible
specs (OMA?). If we insist on using XMPP then we are not helping at
all :(
