The existing XMPP based protocol may not be the best way of doing this, for much the same reason SMTP is not a good way of having email clients (MUA) receive email. Essientially if you did so the client would become a server, and have to be reachable 24 hours a day. Instead we have one protocol for server to server communication (SMTP), and another for client to server communication (POP or IMAP). The distinction is blurred slightly when you consider SMTP is used for sending email, not POP/IMAP. At least that is my vague understanding of the wave protocols. -- Brian May <[email protected]> --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Wave Protocol" group.
