XHTML-IM has been a JEP for a rather long time, and few clients implement it (and moreover, some of them implement it in a nonstandard and wacky way!), and it's a fairly basic feature many IM end users look for. And there's no real incentive (other than peer pressure, as I said) for a client author to implement XHTML, so it ends up getting pushed further and further down TODO lists and suchnot.

I got ahead of myself in editing that post, and realized this showed up a little out of context. XHTML-IM makes a great example of why a certification program could give benefits to us; if it were a requirement for one of the certification levels, then people would have to not only implement it (and thus increase the overall featureful-ness of Jabber clients), but would have to implement it in a way that was found to be standards compliant by the certification board. :)
