I think it is important that the capability to do XMPP messaging with a 
SIP endpoint is expressed in regular SIP ways, so that capability 
checking for that function even can be done before a session is 
initiated, and also during session initiation. E.g. the functionality 
should have the possibility to influence the outcome of caller 
preferences - callee capabilities interrogations (RFC 3840, RFC 3841 ).

It seems to me that that is easily achieved, but that is not the issue 
at the moment, when collecting requirements.
I cannot find exactly that need described in the current requirements, 
so I suggest to add a requirement like this:

REQ-x: The capability or preference to initiate and accept XMPP messages 
must be possible to express and interrogate by the standard mechanisms 
for such functions in SIP for caller preferences and callee 
capabilities. ( RFC 3840, RFC 3841 etc.)

Use case: Alice want to call Bob to have his view of some new poems she 
has written. She has a SIP phone with XMPP chat addition. She makes sure 
that her phone expresses a preference for audio and text messaging in 
the call. Bob has two phones registered on his address. One only with 
audio functionality, the other with both audio and text messaging. The 
SIP server can match the Alice's preferences with the capabilities of 
Bob's phones, and direct the call to the device where he can receive and 
read the poems and comment them in their voice conversation.

---

I am not sure if similar standardised features are available for XMPP so 
that it is relevant to express the symmetric requirements on the XMPP side.
