Right. Probably the biggest difference between the two proposed approaches is the reliance on server-side support. http://www.xmpp.org/extensions/inbox/whiteboard2.html requires server-side support while sxde tries to allow sessions 1-to-1 and in MUC rooms and includes the possibility of specific server-side support merely as an optional enchancement to lessen some of the requirements on the clients.
