Drop that suggestion on both the Jabber mailing lists and the DNS ones. Jabber has been submitted to the IETF and is called XMPP there. So getting the DNS people to consider a specific record type might work.

Then again, what's wrong without such a DNS extension?

Yknow... someone needs to make an IRC client "that thinks its an IM client", one that specilises in /query mode, rather than /channel mode. 4TW!

Here's what I don't understand: why is everything you don't like bloatware?

I mean, with that logic, your entire site is bloatware because I don't use it.

I don't understand, so, can you help me?

You've got voice chat capabilities, why would you want intermittent voice chat capabilities? This seems more like a novelty feature that anything useful.

Google Definitions sums it up nicely.

My Windows Messenger 4.7 does exactly what it needs to, but with only 8MB of RAM.

MSN Messenger does more than I need it to, but seems to want to hog 30MB of RAM, plus another 4MB for each conversation window I open. Windows Messenger only claims 500KB for each new window.
