[JDEV] conferencing with all services

[Max Metral]

I've run into this one before too, and I agree full functionality is not
available...  But couldn't we do some proxying tricks to make this work
right?  e.g. when a Yahoo member enters the room, the proxy sends a message
to the room announcing all occupants even though the Yahoo UI won't SHOW the
occupants?  I think any working experience is better than "you can't
conference with a Yahoo user and MSN user at the same time" which the user
just won't understand or like...

Technically something like this would be in the realm of the transports; 
a yahoo chatroom would be handled by the yahoo transport. However, you 
would not be able to have mixed users within a room, just like you 
cannot have mixed users in a one-on-one chat - everyone in the room 
would need a Yahoo account and need to be signed up for the (fictional) 
yahoo-transport. This is because a yahoo chatroom has no concept of a 
Jabber user, and Yahoo users have no way to access a non-Yahoo chatroom 
via the Yahoo protocol.
