Good stuff!  I have linked to that from the See Also on the Wiki page 
(that number again:

https://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/User:Dale_Innis/Group_IM_in_OGP

). Does the diagram cover group IM as well as person-to-person?  I didn't 
notice it, but I don't know the XMPP concepts as well as I should.

Would it be hard to draw the picture using the agent domain instead of the 
region domain?  That's what we're currently assuming, I think, in the AWG: 
get the burden off of the RD server.

Glad to hear you say this!  :)  I've been trying to explain this to people 
who say "it's simple!  just switch to [favorite existing IM system here] 
and you're done!".
