We are talking about implementing an existing XMPP standard, Link
Local Messaging, into Psi as our chosen means of providing serverless
IM.  Psi could be called one of the "core" XMPP clients.  We are major
proponents of the XMPP protocol and what it stands for.  Arguments for
DHT are irrelevant as there is not a peer-reviewed,
standards-body-approved, method of using distributed hash tables for
IM and presence that has anything to do with XMPP.

If you have a compelling technical argument to make, make it on JDEV
(and bring your own implementation because that's a developer list) or
the XMPP Protocol Extension mailing lists.  Those can be found here:
