Well, the answer is obviously standard - do it :)
The "gaim transport" is already exists so it gives us a great benefits:
1) we have one more _working_ implementation
2) if we will decide to go python+twisted way we have more time for 
implementation
3) freedom to choose from.

Personally I waiting for publication of this piece of code under free license 
to take a look at it [ and modify for my needs ].
