I'm sure this has probably been suggested before but perhaps it would be a nice idea to add protocol specifiers to addresses (JabberIDs), to create Jabber Uniform Personal Locator. This means we could access different instant messaging architectures without pretending (i.e.. setting up pseudo-servers to sit between jabber and the other protocols) that they work in the same way that jabber does (an e-mail like set-up), which strikes me as an ugly way of doing things. This means that other protocols will be treated as other protocols, and seems a much nicer way of dealing with things. Of course this probably will mean a major rewrite of some things, so is probably one for the really far into the future list, or the to hard to do list (which is situated in the bin).
Matthew Belll ps. that was a bit of a ramble wasn't it. I don't think I really got my point across. _______________________________________________ jdev mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mailman.jabber.org/listinfo/jdev
