too late for that. XMPP I/M has been, right or wrong, referred to as a service for real-time conversations (or real time chat) for a long time (search xmpp.org for uses of the term "real-time"). And, as far RTT v. XMPP IM, both can easily be referred to as "near real-time", both do not send keystroke events in real time. Both RTT and XMPP IM batch text to some degree. It's simply that RTT uses a timer based batching and XMPP IM uses a user specified batching. Both allow for humans to have a real-time conversation. But rather not get wrapped around that axel. It's splitting hairs. -- Kurt
