There is support for XML-RPC in the protocol:

http://www.jabber.org/jeps/jep-0009.html

However, it's probably not in many clients yet (though it is in some
libraries).

Do you have a weblog entry or other document that outlines what you
mean when you say you want to "support Jabber as a client"? That's not
fully clear to me. Jabber clients don't have XML files, they send
snippets of XML over a stream, but you could certainly write a server
component that could abstract that from the client.

Jabber/weblog integration will be sweet.
