 Ok, this is a regression.  I've read the Design Document on why you don't
 want it, but this is an actual cash money issue for me.   I've got an
 AIM->SMS gateway for my family, but I've got to pay money for every
 message I send.  Previous to the change, I could tell if someone was at
 home on normal AIM (free) or roaming ($.25 per message).   Is there an
 actual reason for refusing this, or is it just a "Well I like it this way
 so we're doing it my way."?   Or is it "AOL and Yahoo and MSN will sue us
 if we tell you we're using their networks"?
