But you can't have it right now.

Having said that, features that have no purpose in a text-based client *are* missing (like usericons). But the XMPP module supports everything required by RFC3920/3921 and the most important XEPs. vdanen, feel free to report your minor issues in #bitlbee or on the bug tracker.

I'm going to have to check that out and see if that solves some of the (relatively minor) issues I've had with BitlBee. Very cool, thanks!

Bitlbee is quite nice but it is based on old version of the pidgin library, and it forked years ago. So you end up without new jabber features, among others.
