It's just an informational set of compliance suites; if people *can't*
implement them, obviously they won't. If the XSF were ever to do any
sort of certification I'm sure they'd understand why a terminal client
couldn't implement avatars. In the end it's not that important; it's
just a set of recommendations to help make things more interoperable;
if something is missing one or two for a legit reason, it's not the
end of the world.

Specifically for the IM suites I'm only really considering what
consumers will want from a personal communication product; so it's not
guaranteed to fit your business or government needs. Those things
should just do whatever makes sense for their business or use case
anyways.
