As I said previously, there is a protocol for serverless  
communication as a Jabber extension, and we will implement that.

It has nothing to do with retroshare though. It turns out that the  
post you reference seems to just be an attempt to push themselves  
higher in the search engine ratings (or perhaps give the illusion of  
some endorsement). The linked document claiming to be an RFC written  
by a member of the jabber coder foundation is not an RFC, and there  
isn't a jabber coder foundation; there /is/ an XMPP Standards  
Foundation (formerly the Jabber Software Foundation), but the author  
of that document is not a member. Jabber2 was presumably cynically  
chosen to cash in on the success of Jabber, despite being entirely  
unrelated.

The official protocol for serverless messaging is available at
http://www.xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0174.html
We will support this in the future.
