I am confused with your fear. Google is just utilizing XMPP, they are not creating anything new, its open sourced. Plus the group that developed XMPP were formalized by the IETF.

Much like XMPP extended IMPP (http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2779), Google Wave Federation Protocol is an extension of XMPP. While XMPP went through the RFC process (http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3920), the google wave protocol is merely being termed as an open extension. Although I trust Google to believe that they are going to be doing the right thing, I am curious what is IETF's take on this.
