What's the current state of XMPP and OpenID Connect?

What's the current state of XMPP and OpenID Connect? My web search returned that ejabberd is still considering if and how to implement and Prosody has experimental alpha-stage support via a module. I couldn't find anything conclusive in regards to XMPP clients. What's with Gajim(?) and Conversations? Or other clients? Are there any web clients supporting OIDC?

@fluchtkapsel the answer depends a bit on what you are trying to achieve. Authenticate against a third party? Throw the password away and log in with a session cookie? Give access to third parties to data on the XMPP server?
We do the session tokens with FAST.
Prosody has some support for giving third parties access to (scoped) data on the XMPP server and clients (Conversations and Gajim) aren't involved here.
