[JDEV] FIMA

[dlb]

you should inquire w/ jabber.com , they seem to be leading the effort in
this area.  Also this process had really only begun in August , and the
securities industry is notoriously fractious and slow to adopt standards. I
wouldn't be too concerned if they've made a few positive comments about SIP.
I don't think that they've gotten any formal input for their own vendors yet
and these will likely favor XMPP.
