Aren't there XMPP implementations in the browser already out there? Example: Strophe http://code.stanziq.com/strophe/
Strophe runs over BOSH in Javascript, and is a (very) full XMPP library, so the browser's security model has no control over it beyond normal Javascript mechanisms. In particular, this means the application provider has to supply BOSH connectivity for the site's visitors, and there's no integration between XMPP and the web at all.
So, what are you guys planning to do on top of it?
Not on top, but beside - the idea would be that the browser speaks XMPP natively and can access services provided by the site directly over XMPP, as controlled by a fairly simple API. Application providers wishing to use the realtime stuff that XMPP does would just provide an XMPP endpoint - perhaps even S2S only - which can respond to requests as needed.
Sites could provide SASL ANONYMOUS access for browsers to use if they do not have, or do not wish to use, an existing XMPP identity - but I see this as optional for sites (mandatory for the protocol, of course).
