 Replying to [comment:5 zdenek]:
 > Just some more info about how the transports can be used:
 > On our jabber server, I can use them for: ICQ, AIM, MSN, Yahoo, IRC,
 Gadu-Gadu, Tlen (these has been networks AFAIK supported by Pidgin),
 sending SMS, mail notifications, TV program, weather, games, jabber disk,
 code sharing and dictionaries (although these three can be used without
 service discovery support, but not so smoothly), RSS feeds and SMTP
 transport.

 I can add that one of the biggest advantages of having a Jabber account is
 this integration of IM accounts into one, server-side. In Google's Jabber
 service (Google Talk), all chat transcripts can be saved in mailbox.
 Thanks
 to transports, this is also true for all other IM networks that I use,
 which
 is great!

 If someone wants to setup and benefit from a Jabber account, they must
 install Pidgin for everyday talk (for this it is great) and some other
 client only to configure transports and services. Therefore, the following
 holds true:

 > If Pidgin does not support service discovery and transports
 registration, then it's pretty bad, because many advantages of the Jabber
 network are gone. (And that's the reason why I stopped using Gaim when I
 had registered my jabber account).
