Hi,

I would appreciate any clarifications with regards to encrypted communication, in particular when using gtalk.
Specifically, here it says
A. OTR is currently not supported:
http://live.gnome.org/Empathy/FAQ#Will_Empathy_have_OTR_.28.22Off_The_Record.22.29_support.3F
But at the same time, for gtalk, there is a checkbox under account setting, Advanced:
Encryption required (TLS/SSL)

The latter suggests to me that
B. when Encryption required (TLS/SSL) checkbox is selected, gtalk correspondence will be encrypted.

Are both statements, A. and B., true? If so, what extra benefit will future support for A. bring? If B. is true, it appears that it would just eliminate logging when in OTR, but that can't be it, because that can be done w/o protocol modifications.

Thanks.
