i think that makes sense, though as a thought experiment, are there
any resources which are available via XMPP but are *not* available via
HTTP? My overall conception of XMPP is that it's a really fantastic
mechanism for real-time delivery of content, but probably not the
greatest mechanism for querying and representing data (if only because
HTTP is such a strongly established standard that everyone
understands).
