Over in the Jabber community we have an XML format as well (by no means universally adopted): http://www.jabber.org/jeps/jep-0136.html#fileformat But with XSLT we can simply transform one format into another, no? BTW I have been working on preparing the XHTML-IM integration set for more robust microformats support: http://www.jabber.org/jeps/jep-0071.html Do you guys have any use cases for microformats in IM that I can use to socialize these concepts in the Jabber community? > It seems to me that we need to push forward with some kind of > Campfire-esque web-based chat client that supports Jabber auth.
