Hello dear All!
Look, what I discovered :)
There is a big russian Internet, IT, media, etc company - RBC (RossBiznesConsulting - )
Some years ago.. they start to (unofficially) support interesting project -
They are started from small prog - unofficial client for ICQ service - small, fast, comfortable and absolutely adv-free...
There are many versions... also for PDA-clients, etc..
After that... they issued a new version, QIP Infium... and main idea now is to integrate in single im-client (and account!!) many protocols and media - icq (without license :), jabber (many implementations), many russian social networks and dating sites...
Also, when You install this prog, they propose You to make start and search page - start.qip.ru...
And many people start to use this page...
And client become more and more popular. About one-third or one-half contacts from my ICQ-contact list uses QIP.
Now they claims, that even ICQ or other sites closes, or stop access - QIP users can still use his own transport-protocol - QIP... :-)
And now... look, what I discovered....
<iq type="get" to="qip.ru" id="bla-bla">
<query xmlns="jabber:iq:version" />
</iq>
<iq from="qip.ru" to="bla-bla-bla" id="bla-bla" type="result">
<query xmlns="jabber:iq:version">
<name>ejabberd</name>
<version>2.0.2</version>
<os>unix/freebsd 6.3.0</os>
</query>
</iq>
nice, eh? :-)

I knew the existence of QIP when noticed that some users in a spanish Jabber server were using it. Two russians and a czech. They don't use transports. Just FYI :)
