Err, I think I missed a point or two here.. Language = profile, but charset = protocol/client/etc. Let's not get confused here.. Once you can support the charset, the 'puters could care less what language your speaking..
And as far as a jabber registry, there has already been a discusion several months ago regarding it, if you want to look at prior ideas.. IMHO, it should wait for a bit, though..
