Comment (by deryni):

 What changes to pidgin do you feel are necessary for an xml logger to be
 written? What about the current logging system doesn't allow you to just
 create an xml logger plugin? You are aware that the current logging system
 allows for plugins to add log types, correct?

 Why do you want to store the account and buddy alias in the log? I can't
 imagine most people will want to see old aliases when looking at old logs,
 will they? Assuming we want the alias stored in the log, why would we want
 to store the alias again with each message? Why would we need to store
 both to and from for each message? (For IMs only one side is needed and
 for chats only one side will generally exist.) Why would the message
 itself not be the cdata of the <message/> tag?

 Also two small details. Firstly, your diffs were taken backwards (they
 show your changes as removals not additions) and secondly the word is
 "standard" not "standart".
