Re: possible (real) Net_ICQ/AIM/OSCAR pear package (?)

When I'd strongly vote against Net_ChatClient because this might lead to confusion with Net_IRC or similar. Net_IM "might" be okay - but maybe we should think of a somehow open structure? Would it be possible to build a Net_IM-package and also integrate functionality to send to Jabber-servers etc.? Since the Jabber- protocol is open an XML this shouldn't be of any problem. I just mean ... like the Validate-class (Pierre knows what I mean :-)) - somethink like a package for multiple Instant Messenger-protocols. If you need ideas / help maybe have a look at the sources of Miranda- IM (http://www.miranda-im.org/) since they have interfaces for some interesting widespread messenger-procotols - with full source I believe.
