I've heard it argued that the main reason Wave died was all the XML overhead from being built on XMPP.

I doubt that's it. More likely Wave died because they somehow neglected to actually release it. By the time they closed it down, very few people had gotten invites.

Maybe they were stingy with the invites because they couldn't scale up the servers?
