[JDEV] MSN will stop supporting old MSN Messenger protocol

[Joe Hildebrand]

As far as we've heard, MSN is staying with MSNP, and the new enterprise IM
stuff (RTC, LiveCommunications, whatever it's called this week) is what is
going to use SIP and SIMPLE.

Jabber servers can incorporate any protocol you want; it's easier if it's
documented.  I'm not sure that is going to be the case with MS's SIMPLE
implementation, since I'm sure they had to code around some of the
limitations of the current protocol set.
