Just had a silly thought:

[#]XMPP is in XML

[#]SVG is in XML

Is there anything cool that one could do with such a crossover?

[#]BrainPoot

Built-in collaborative whiteboard?

Very stylish (or chaotic) chat messages?

2D virtual world with vector graphics? (similar to WorkAdventu.re)

…?

Apparently #Inkscape had a #XMPP-based collaborative editing feature already in 2006

Funny how back then everything seemed to be running on #XMPP, I have fond memories of Qunu – it was a help chat integrated directly into (desktop) apps.

In a way it predated current chats (now with bots) on websites, where websites act as apps.

Qunu was just the other way around – (desktop) integrated chat in desktop app (or web chat).

Instead of (“app”-as-)website-as-app with integrated webchat.
