I wondered how they were linking IM in Workplace

I found this tidbit in an article from November on the Workplace 1.1 launch.

To provide that access, IBM partners with FaceTime, which acts as a sort Web services layer for IM, allowing Lotus Workplace to exchange message with AOL, MSN and Yahoo!

Where the words "that access" refer to IM interoperability.  So it relies on SIP Simple to get the communication flowing and working between the different IM products out there.

This all became more interesting as I am playing with the 1.1 install the past week.
