 That's not true.  IIIMF stands for Internet Intranet Input Method
Framework, and it's Yet another IM(framework).
I think what you mentioned is IIIMP (IIIM Protocol).

 Wnn(Canna,atok) Protocol and IIIM protocol is different layer.  
XIM is Input Method Protocol used between client and im server.
The other hand, Wnn protocol is used between im server and conversion
engine(server).

 You can find the implementation of IIIMF with Xlib-I18N 
on the http://www.li18nux.org/ web page :-)
