Re: [DotGNU]Jabber - How to make it Official?

[Adam Theo]

Jabber protocol 1.4 has just recently been submitted as an informational 
RFC to the IETF. Informational means just to show the IETF what we have 
right now, not to get them to adopt it. Jabber protocol 1.2 (i think) 
was also submitted to the IETF, but only as an Informational for their 
messaging and presence WG. Informationals are not accepted/rejected, 
just shown. We hope to one day feel confident enough to take Jabber to 
them as a real RFC. But we don't want to do that until Jabber has become 
a near de-facto standard anyway, to assure our adoption.
