Interesting, IMO relevant, conversation happens on mailto:projectvrm@eon.law.harvard.edu

Really?  I've got to go back and review the XDI docs again.  I was under the impression that HTTP was merely the *first* transport they were defining and that XMPP was in the pipeline.  It's not a far stretch to suppose that MQTT could act as a transport as well.  Although the physical route for XMPP and MQTT traverses a broker at the hub, the XDI node identifiers can map directly to identifiers in those protocols, resulting in a logical peer-to-peer topology at the devices.  That eliminates any issue with dynamic IP addresses, in the same way that two email clients resolve each other by email address rather than by IP address.  And of course, this eliminates the need for HTTPD or a LAMP stack.  Just a few k for an MQTT client or whatever XMPP requires.

I would also like at some point dive in technologies like https://gnunet.org , http://about.psyc.eu

Which of course doesn't mean that I don't <3 HTTP, RDF and SPARQL ;)
