XMPP? Knows what they are doing?
Does not compute.
Using document markup as a packet based message protocol is just perverse.

I think the protocol is actually quite nice, I have an aversion to anything XML but that's just a personal preference. Have you used it in development? It works quite well... I know it sucks for binary data but that's not what it's designed for.
edit: I made my comment before axod edited in the last line "Using document markup as a packet based message protocol is just perverse." I somewhat agree with his point so ignore my reply.
I agree it's probably pointless, but I find it odd that XMPP is now apparently 'cool'. I thought it was commonly thought to be an abomination of the highest order.
It's a tribute to the simplicity of IRC that you can write a channel logging bot in like 20 lines of shell (https://github.com/acg/logbot).
Cobol is in production all over the place.
Autocracy... okay, there was that whole Egypt thing, but you get the idea.
