I can easily see the need for such a protocol. Looking at Data Forms in there is no real way of transporting XML data. There are quite a few applications that can make better use of transporting XML with Ad-Hoc commands instead of resorting to complex things like SOAP and the rest. In general, lot of the things that hover around xmpp are more geared towards the IM side of xmpp, while there are kinds of needs too. Addressing the need to do Ad-Hoc command with program data is a good thing. Regards, Sami
