As far as I can see Tipic does not seem to be an open platform for 
development , nor is it Free for commercial use ....

While the Jabber.Net by Joe Hildebrand is fully free ... (under JOSL
IIRC)... And the best part is that we have the peices ready , except
for the XmlTextReader ...

If that can be rushed to the working stage , we might have the perfect
webservice toolkit ...

Even if Ximian/Tipic works, I would rather think companies will use our
planned system if it proves to be cost effective :-)...
