You suggested that users behind a corporate LAN might covertly set
up a JMS router outside their firewall, but an ordinary NAT could be
employed for this purpose today.

I realize you will reply that JMS does that and more. I'm not at all
convinced that more is really so desirable, especially in light of
the inevitable complexity that a really generic scheme would bring.
So-and-so can only receive data through steganographic instant
messages. Good luck getting a JMS router to do that. And who pays to
run the JMS routers, given that the imprisoned end user obviously
cannot run one himself?

We should also keep in mind what I consider the fundamental problem
with trying to circumvent locked-down internet connections. The
problem is that the people who locked it down in the first place
will not be pleased when they notice your suspicious network usage,
the result being that you will have designed an effective way to
upgrade a crippled connection to a non-existent connection.

I do like generic message queueing in principle. It has a lot of
isomorphisms with caching.
