In fact, the Jabber protocol is so useful that we at the DotGNU project (http://www.dotgnu.org) have endorsed it's use for webservice transport (along with the use of HTTP).
We specifically have endorsed the use of the protocol itself (to be used in Free Software) and any GNU GPL compatible Free Software based on Jabber.
Jabber may very well reach far beyond Instant Messengers in it's scope.
