I actually enabled BOSH on my Prosody setup.

For reference: https://www.someodd.zip/phlog-mirror/xmpp-server.gopher

BOSH still has some interesting trade-offs even today. It can help with some NAT headaches and rides over plain HTTPS. I like this old post:

Curious who here uses BOSH in production and/or WebSocket (RFC 7395) these days.

Not for 13ish years but we built the chat feature in a social networking platform with BOSH. Looked just like FB Messenger, really. The thing never took off, so I don't remember any talks about outside federation, I think it was not on by default.
