Another thought that comes to mind is that you could write a little 
JabberStream that could be a drop in replacement for an bidirectional 
stream (including SocketStream)...this would enable clients and servers 
to work across the Jabber protocol and provide some nice capabilities 
for detecting when the server is online (using presence detection).  
This might come in handy for people that want/need to run servers on 
machines that are intermittently connected to the internet or that 
frequently change their point of connection (ip address).

You could for example operate a Comanche web server at some Jabber UID.  
You could then have one or more gateway servers that would proxy a 
request to http://www.jabberhttp.net/someuid@squeak.org/some/resource 
into an http request sent through the Jabber system.  You could do 
similar things for any client/server protocol.
