In a puritanical "Each layer of abstraction should get its own
subproject" view, you're right, but I think that we shouldn't add
undue complexity to the project and confusion for people trying to
understand Twisted by adding more projects when they're unnecessary.
Therefore, I suggest keeping all of this stuff in twisted.words until
it'd actually be useful to users (developers) to split off. i.e., when
people start wanting to make apps based on XMPP that don't use any
chat stuff.

Anyway, good luck with the project, and thanks for your work on it so far.
