   #SIMPLE -- an IM protocol so simple it can be described in less than 50 RFCs.
   
   https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6914 is the RFC that catalogs the other RFCs.

      @clacke Sponsored by the #SIP folks. I think I saw some effort to add interop with #XMPP.

      @clacke Kinda like SOAP - the S originally stood for Simple till it looked ironic. (And that brings up memories of CORBA...) People who aren't "enterprise" and who can't afford the massive amounts of engineering required to make this stuff work well tend to drift off to other, simpler protocols which cover 80-90% of the use cases with less hassle.
