    Well, in part it means programs like Trillian would no longer be needed (sort of) because because any messenger that was compliant with the standard would be able to communicate with any other messenger. The number of messenger clients to choose from would be limitless. People would make as many messengers as people make skins for WinAmp. Some would be really good and popular, others would basically suck. The problem with this will likely be that large companies who hate competition (I wont mention names) will try to squash out the standard by creating their own non-standard standard and then patching their Operating System so the real industry standard is incompatible.
