In general I agree with the several smaller interfaces idea.  This could be an
interesting debate, though.  For example, an argument could be made to have the
file transfer related bits split off as a smaller interface, since not all
protocols support file transfer (Facebook XMPP, for example).  Note that I'm not
making this suggestion, just pointing out a possibility.

I agree entirely.
