Huh? They mentioned SIP/SIMPLE too. AFAIK - GTalk do not uses it.
Can it be that they convert, say, Yahoo -> SIMPLE -> sametime locally?
honestly I see no point in doing two conversions on same box. So it seemed 
more natural for me that, say, Yahoo provide SIP/SIMPLE interface and IBM 
uses it. 
Yahoo is already integrated with MSN. So they have to have some sort of 
internal protocol. That may be just the same interface that is used for 
sametime.
