venting, XMPP 

Reading the XMPP RFC and being very quickly reminded why I don't like implementing this thing (the fucking streaming XML parsing required)

@joepie91 yeah xmpp is all kinds of terrible

@joepie91 yea, streaming XML seems like a good way to invite zalgo for a visit lol, especially if anyone tries to fuzz that.

Sometimes I wonder if it'd be possible to 'fork' the XMPP RFC and make a 'unofficial lite version' that doesn't have the hairy dairy parts that make it such a painful thing to implement properly, because just having the federated XML based messaging parts don't seem unreasonable on their own, it's all the extra crap on top that makes it such a monstrosity
