[rabbitmq-discuss] does native web xmpp plugin in rabbitmq makes sense?

Let's take Facebook chat as an example. You only have web interface with
xmpp or a custom protocol.
You have several servers that need to sync.
How RabbitMQ can be usefull in this scenario? Do you mean that each IM
server will have a RabbitMQ node
that will send and receive sync messages from other RabbitMQ nodes on other
IM servers?
