Why not Jabber? Jabber is meant to do that. It's designed to do that. 
It's *begging* you to use it that way.

This is in stark contrast to HTTP. HTTP thinks you're nuts. HTTP will 
fight you tooth and nail. HTTP is old, and hoary, and set in her ways. 
And XML-RPC isn't exactly ecstatic about being streamed, either.

Why fight the system when you can work with another one?
