+1 It is very important to use a intelligent open framework AND NOT any Approach that needs fixed ports etc. like the stone old voice in SL.
I did discuss that with lindens and lost the only realy interested company while the hype time (3D is only a 0,1% of my Rl job atm) because the implemented technology was not acceptable from a firewall/routing perspective. It is nice for single user or organization with not governance needs. So it must by (from transport) something that is a holepuncher, similar to skype. Using https-tunnel e.g. Maybe it would be a nice chance to do the security groups "SL style", so one with a SL viewer could build/interact inworld. But if we use Jabber/XXMP for the communication part, a SL client would only be limited In group communication - BUT could still use a second software able to talk that protocol. Wouldn´t brake compatibility where it hurts.

I suppose we could go in the IRC or XMPP/Jabber direction, I would really encourage a Jabber/XMPP approach for group (and indeed individual) which open up all sorts of opportunities to link to external messengers, buddy systems with geo-location (think of the 9opportuinities for in world visualisation of collaborative and distributed teams), intelligent communications things too.
