Why didn't Apple went for this on iChat and decided to store the avatar on the user's vcard-tmp ? Simply because pubsub isn't widely deployed yet, and they had to ship with something. Many people have commented on iChat's implementation of various Jabber protocols, so I won't repeat that here.

Sorry for being slightly naive on this but, are you on about a Basic cert. based on compliance to the Core XMPP documents and then assigning extra points for additional JEPs covered? All this phrasing of levels of cert. leads me to think of something in the order of Bronze,Silver,Gold,Plat.
