[JDEV] InfoWorld: XMPP Rises to Face SIMPLE Standard

[Federico Lucifredi]

It is also interesting to see the word "standard" used for SIP/SIMPLE when
there is no "standardized" way yet to have even primitive functionality -
such as a server-side roster or a session-mode....

just put your spin on things and you will sell them. Ah, the business world.

Also note that *someone* on the SIMPLE wg must have noticed that their
standard has a few holes, as they decided to have an extra meeting in
between IETF gatherings next month....

If someone wants to score one for jabber, just make a simple transport - and
carefully document how many features you have to leave out, and how
"compatible" the implementations out there are.
