Comment (by chemistrydioxide):
I think we should confuse users much more than just by using protocol
names that they don't know. Let's implement a feature that changes the UI
language every five minutes if there is no purple-rotate-language=off in
the environment.

ok, i'll stop being ironic.
I think users should understand the UI. It doesn't make sense to use a
language that the user doesn't speak (That's why there is i18n and no
automatic language rotation).[[BR]]
It doesn't make sense either to use terms that the majority of users don't
understand. I think we should use something like "XMPP (Jabber)".
Refusing to use "XMPP/Jabber" just because Jabber isn't the official name
of the protocol is just logomachy.
