Sounds very cool.

How can you assume that the message you are waiting for is the right one 
? Let's say that you have 10 channels each doing a JabberReceive at the 
same time - how does the channel know how to get the right message, let 
alone the right data ?

(2 channels may be waiting for a NewExten message, others for a 
GetSomeDataFromSomeOtherPlace message )

Or am I missing something really obvious ?
