[Opensim-dev] Proposal: notify clients when Robust changes a user's inventory

[Melanie]

In SL, IM is used for a lot of things besides actual IM. We at some
point decided to try and use more specific messaging/APIs to
accomplish our communications goals. I've adhered to that in my core
contributions but my out of core work does use IM as transport and
it works like a charm.

IM is, because of this agreed limitation, a pure client <-> sim
thing, as we translate the IM things (like friend stuff) into the
above mentioned more specific APIs.

However, there is nothing that prevents external services to query
presence and inject "IM" using different IntantMessageDialog values
into the last known sim the user is in, leveraging the "hunting"
mechanism IM already has, to deliver a message from a service to a
client.

>From all appearances, that's not too different from what LL do.
