I've been reading a lot about the need to replace email and I'm not quite sure why we're not moving to an XMPP based model.

Because it's /connection based/ and therefore low latency, so cannot be used by an untraceable pseudonym (endpoint IP packet correlation). Contrast with email, where the security is /message based/ and can use anonymizing remailers having deliberately long, random latency. -- -- StealthMonger Long, random latency is part of the price of Internet anonymity.
