One of the significant benefits of Jabber is that it is easily used by thin clients, even unconnected polling clients with a bit of server hacking (support for this should be built-in). Requiring transports to run client side would kill this, and be a huge portability mess. What's wrong with the current situation, other than the general buggyness of the current transports? > Client designers can then focus on look-and-feel, skins, > usability, thinness and robustness and forget about having to > handle multi-platform issues which, frankly, each client is > re-inventing the wheel in that regard. All of the details of transports are abstracted away from the client. If you know how to register for one, you know how to register for them all. _______________________________________________ jdev mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mailman.jabber.org/listinfo/jdev
