 Ugh, I see.

 Hm, what do you think is going to be the workflow of users who need to get
 an XMPP account to use with hexchat? If our server-side hexchat bot is a
 @gmail.com JID, how are users going to create non-gmail JIDs? And how do
 they connect with them to Gtalk's servers?

 Also, if users want to have N aliases (to increase their speed), they also
 need to create N JIDs, right?
