Funny but XMPP has hit it really big for law enforcement and military users. For instance the commander of a squad fills out a form about what engagements they had with the enemy every day and often they fill out a form that gets submitted to XMPP and is sent asynchronously up the chain of command.

I was surprised to see this mentioned.

I was working for a company over a decade ago that saw the military purchase a piece of software from us specifically for its messaging and XMPP based capabilities. We were requested to rewrite chunks of our application just to meet their needs. Makes me wonder if it is still in use somewhere.
