It is great, that is feature enhancement is accepted by core team.

Besides, above information, I bet, core team may already know that the  
following javascript is also helpful.

https://conversejs.org

Especially, the converse is very good fit to Horde (by placing it onto  
many horde service pages... to provide experience like Facebook chat.)
The xmpp javascript client can work with ejabberd... if it is the xmpp  
back end server.
This could be another alternative to php.
