Other IM networks continue to use XMPP. I will personally recommend everyone I 
know stop using Google Talk ASAP if Google plans to drop standards 
compatibility. This behaviour is unacceptable and clearly falls in the "evil" 
category. Just because AOL, MSN, etc are okay with being evil, does not mean 
Google needs to follow suit.
