Well, I guess it kinda makes sense? Beats having to reinvent a tokenization format from scratch? Of course, smaller messages (à la Matrix) probbably make more

  Ultimately the issue is that XML is a document markup language, not a purpose built streaming protocol. You can kind of force it into that role, but the parser ends up being overly complex and issue prone. It's like basing a chat app around creating a MS Word document of every message and sending it across the network.
