Sure, they can do what they like. And with respect to their own network that 
is all fine. But it wouldn't help Jabber if they defined another proprietary 
senderID-like protocol and only accepted connections from compliant servers. 
But that's all speculation it seems.

All I wanted to say was that we should start thinking about antispim - and 
this thread does this - *before* Google presents accomplished facts, and 
maybe get them into the boat and participate in the development of a useful 
and widely accepted standard.
