One thing that would be interesting to me is an engine that can provide real time pricing feeds. It seems to me that jabber (chat engine) is actually a lot more powerful than being about chatting. Some applications are lonely and want instant messaging too. :) Queuing is important but for different reasons and usually different applications.... eg if your circuits are global. eg a London broker makes a transaction destined for Singapore, but has to go via Hong Kong and the London/HongKong circuit is only up every 5 minutes... Although this is not dissimilar to the resilience of a message delivered via SMTP relays.
