Nice compilation, Dave.As one of the guys from xmppresearch.org, I might add a bit from the academic side. There is quite a body of literature available on XMPP research (and - yes, we keep collecting!). We're currently working on a survey paper on a collection of XMPP research from 2003 till today. I can't reveal too much, but a little bit of overview allows me to wield the academagic battle-axe at least for two myths.
Myth Two:Although I don't know if the scientific use of XMPP extensions mirrors practical deployment, I would assume that there are certain similarities. In response to a request during this year's summit in Diegem, Belgium, my dear colleague Daniel Schuster from TU Dresden created a tag cloud of the XEPs in scientific use, extracted from 250 different papers: http://www.xmppresearch.org/posts/xeps-used-in-xmpp-research/
Myth Three:There is quite some scientific evidence on the use of XMPP in bandwidth-critical, mobile settings, especially in the last five years. You find literature on mobile sensor networks, mobile apps, IoT, etc., some of them applied in disaster scenarios with no or very impaired public communication infrastructure. Bandwidth-efficiency is hardly ever mentioned as a problem.

I've noticed that a large well-funded group have been attending a number of conferences and making unfortunately ill-informed statements about XMPP, in favour of their own solution in a number of spaces in which we overlap. In conformity with Napoleon's suggestion that one should never attribute to malice that which can adequately be explained by incompetence, I have tried to address these statements directly, but sadly while representatives of the organization were willing to agree they would correct their website, they have remained too incompetent to do so. This is terribly unfortunate, and so to help address this I knocked up some answers to specific "myths" on a Wiki page, intended (by me) as a draft blog post (but it could just as well stay on the Wiki, get reused as website content, or whatever). It's here: http://wiki.xmpp.org/web/index.php?title=Myths Suggestions and corrections would be very much welcome; feel free to either edit directly, or (possibly preferable) discuss in the XSF chatroom at [email protected] Thanks! Dave.
