Gecko is pretty small when compressed, FWIW. And most of our message  
styles will work in Gecko, I would say. David Smith (Cc'd) has been  
working on an implementation of Adium's message styles in JS -- the  
client would only need to expose a model and send events into the  
view, and messages would get added internally, AIUI.
