Hi Paul. XMPP definitely would be a great fit for this space and I would
definitely be a backer of that. But can you expand on why you think SIP
would be any less relevant for all those points you mention. I think what
would be instructive is to have an actual concrete matrix of the proposed
RESTful protocol, SIP and XMPP for just a couple of simple use cases and
call flows see exactly where it is that XMPP and SIP, if they are binary
encoded, don't meet the requirements of LoWPANs  and actually see which ones
are in fact the better choice.
