There are other open IM protocols designed around SIP.  See for example 
RFC3428 and SIMPLE (http://www.ietf.org/html.charters/simple-charter.html).

ICQ and AIM use an AOL proprietary protocol known as OSCAR.

MSN Messenger uses a proprietary protocol known as MSNP.  However, Windows 
Messenger uses SIMPLE.
