[Use-revolution] [a bit OT] instant messaging protocol

[Ben Rubinstein]

does anyone know if any of the relatively well established instant messaging
protocols are documented?  I want to implement a client in Rev (which can
take special action in response to some messages) but ideally it would use a
standard protocol so it could interact with standard clients.

TIA,
