i find the way msn-t handles one's msn roster to be really, really annoying. i once loaded up msn messenger after a year or so of using jabber, and got 
flodded with about 50 requestes that had been stored up from user accounts requesting an auth that i had deleted through jabber ages ago. why the 
transport can't actually remove the user you wish to 'unauth', rather than simply blocking them or whatever, i don't know.

p.s. that is a warning; don't connect to msn using the msnm program after soley using a jabber client to connect for some period of time if you don't want 
any hastle.
