excellent idea ;-) (/me is using XMPP with libsl currently). some thoughts:

    * it would be very useful to have the individual servers show up
      with individual JIDs.
    * access control via roster for each server
          o send log messages to those JIDs that are in the roster and
            are online
          o accept commands from all JIDs that are in the roster
    * logging exclusively via XMPP

the above points assume that you are going to use the normal 
jabber:client subset of XMPP --- which allows us to use normal jabber 
clients.

you could also look into using XMPP for the remote admin interface: 
instead of XMLRPC use IQ.

a useful XMPP lib for C# is agsXMPP --- it under GPL, so, i'm not sure 
how acceptable that is to the OpenSim community?

    cheers,
