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.
