Competing Standards
XMPP has often been regarded as a competitor to SIMPLE, based on the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) protocol, as the standard protocol for instant messaging and presence notification.
The XMPP extension for multi-user chat can be seen as a competitor to Internet Relay Chat (IRC), although it is not as widely used as IRC.
Similarly, the XMPP extensions for publish-subscribe provide many of the same features as the Advanced Message Queuing Protocol.

Famous quotes containing the words competing and/or standards:
“A genuine Left doesn’t consider anyone’s suffering irrelevant or titillating; nor does it function as a microcosm of capitalist economy, with men competing for power and status at the top, and women doing all the work at the bottom.... Goodbye to all that.”
—Robin Morgan (b. 1941)
“If one doesn’t know one’s own country, one doesn’t have standards for foreign countries.”
—Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)
