I have to agree with Martin's general conclusions here: using XMPP is
really hard, both as an end-user and as a provider. I am able to get
it working about one out of every three IETFs. The sticky wicket tends
to be finding a place that will both host my XMPP account _and_
interoperate with the IETF's XMPP server.
Why doesn't the IETF just operate an XMPP server on which IETF
participants can get accounts? Layer 9, or is it just really hard?
Yes, but...
The IETF is supposed to be about interoperability. If XMPP has on-going utility problems with interoperability, the IETF should look for ways to fix them.
To date, we really only have two services that demonstrate open (ie, multi-administration) interoperability at Internet scale: email and DNS.
After this many years, that's sad.
