"Seems to me you speak about plans, not real implementations."
Like I said, we endorse the protocol itself (which contains a standard transport protocol, amongst other wide-use generic protocols)... The implementation support is largely for usable code and because Instant Messengers can be webservices themsevles, if designed in such a way.
"Does anyone else know working implementations with Jabber in applications other then IM ?"
There are a number of initiatives to do things like mail transfer with Jabber, etc... Not all of them are copyleft. But, the power of the implementations is in their use of the protocol and, hence, can be used as example code for implementing the protocol.
However, yes - the majority of Jabber implementations are IM clients/servers -- I'd say probably 80-90% of all implementations. Of course, Jabber is an IM protocol -- but that doesn't mean that it doesn't generalize to other services.
Yes, I am speaking of plans -- we plan to use it. We have endorsed the use of the protocol in DotGNU projects.
