Would you guys know a diagram or dable that would give a short & concise but nevertheless complete and relatively up-to-date view of the existing protocols, and their specifics ? (namely : ZeroMQ, Rendez-Vous, EMS, ... All of them! :) ).

I can help with some of the RV and EMS details if you can provide more details about the specifics you are after. – Tom Howard Jan 10 '14 at 05:12

Message oriented middleware is a big topic, there are probably more than 50-100 different implementations around. And unfortunately everyone putting together a list has an agenda (like presenting his product or his favourite in the best light). To simplify your search, however, it might help to ask yourself these questions:
- JMS or not ? (EMS yes, Rendezvous no)
- Brokerless ? (ZeroMQ yes, no on the others)
- Free or commercial ?
And once you know more browse through some blogs, for example: https://bravenewgeek.com/dissecting-message-queues/, http://supercoderz.in/amqp-zeromq-jms-tibco-rv-and-so-on-which-messaging-system-to-use/ or checkout Which JMS implementation do you use? - my agenda ;-)
