Comment (by shreevatsa):

 Here's one thing that happens:

 1. Pidgin user has set GMail to log all chats, and often relies on it

 2. Uses Pidgin to chat with friend who's using Google Talk/GMail

 3. Friend asks Google to go "off-the-record"

 4. Pidgin provides no notification that this has happened.

 5. Many days later, user cannot find the chats in GMail, despite expecting
 them to be there.

 The entire thing seems quite a bad feature to me (being able to control
 what the *other* person logs), and perhaps it's Google's fault for going
 ahead with the "off-the-record" thing even though Pidgin didn't say yes
 (from my reading of the XEP), but I think Pidgin should at least notify
 the user when this happens.
