Why?
Actually, I'm kind of in support of this.
I personally always have the XMPP interface up and only go to the web
interface when I need to do something that isn't supported in XMPP.
In this case it'd be great to be able to use one of the already open
and authenticated channels to create another.
I also have at least 3 account in XMPP at all times, and I often log
in and out of each in turn as need arises.
This would significantly speed up this process.
Also, as a last point there are people who can't log in to their
accounts because they've forgotten the password or something, but
they still have access to the XMPP.
So, they can use their account for things like reading and posting,
but can't get on to the web interface without using the request
password link.
Of course, this would require that someone who logs in via XMPP would
be able to reset their password without knowing their old ones.
I'm not sure if this is a security hole or not, but I think it could
be really useful for me personally.
