I think there's a difference in approach, and that's the key. Aside from anything else, both XMPP and HTTP are merely interfaces onto the internal system, fo course, but it strikes me that if you approach the system as an XMPP service with a web front-end, you'd get something more likely to be scalable. But these needn't be the only interfaces, of course - as I said to you just now, this particular discussion would be much easier for me as an ad-hoc mailing list, and the email metaphor lends itself well to archival access, something that XMPP really isn't good at.

Not that I can be arsed to register just for this, but a solution is using http://lilurl.sf.net/ instead of writing yet another. See http://ur1.ca/ for a working service.

Nursery in the UK starts around 3 months, and mandatory school starts at 5 years - but here in Wales, for instance, school is available (and free) from 3 years, and most people take advantage of that. (In London, school starts at 5, and nursery costs at least three limbs).
There's funding available for nursery, but it usually doesn't cover the full amount - with our first, we could afford it, and with our second, I did the mornings and my wife did the afternoons while I did my freelancing researchy thing - I still miss that.
