Hello Stephen -- I actually covered that in section 1.2 of the first draft attempt standard :-) ____
1.2 Precedent Real-time text is not new. It has been around for decades. Early chat software commonly utilized real-time text in a character-by-character format. - The 'talk' command on UNIX systems has been using real-time text for many years, since the 1970's. - ICQ, the first major instant messaging application, had a split screen mode with real-time text back in 1996-1999 before this feature was removed. - Hobby BBS chat programs from the 1990's often utilized real-time text. - Recently, in 2008, it has been implemented as part of AOL AIM 6.8 and higher as AOL Real-Time IM [1] - In SIP calls, real-time text is defined and used with presentation coding as specified in ITU-T T.140 [2] and transport specified in IETF RFC 4103 [3].
