Because this isn't a new project for us; if it was, we'd absolutely be using XMPP. Our choices were to dump 10+ years of engineering and spend another two trying to wrangle XMPP to fit our needs (and do so across Windows, Mac, iOS, Android, BlackBerry, and Web), to keep our protocol but publish docs, or to continue to run yet-another-walled-garden.
The maker of an interoperable IM client not running an interoperable IM protocol just felt silly to us, so we decided to spend a week and publish something.
