I doubt it is only you. :-)

Because there is no such thing as XMPP over UDP, the gateway from SIP
to XMPP will need to communicate over TCP. However, I see no reason
why the gateway from XMPP to SIP could not be "smart" and send SIP
messages over TCP or UDP depending on what the far SIP server
supports. I'll work to add some clarifying text on these points.
