The fact that it's XML and open allows you to send special messages that aren't strictly "messages" as in chit-chat. If you want to do that over something like ICQ, you have to invent something like MIME for IM which allows you to encapsulates different types of messages. Of course, there's not much hope that MS or AOL would adopt KDE's extensions, so you're doing non-standard stuff and no longer interoperable..

Don't the Kopete plugins suffer from those practices too ? cheers domi -- Bob Barker: "Which one of these lovely womanoids will take home atomic tiara?"
