Routing all traffic through the Jabber central servers will a) be very slow 
and b) constitute a DoS in the eyes of most server operators.

Jabber, IM clients in general, email, and so on, are IMHO in the category of 
either:
a) Ways to get onto the network in the first place i.e. exchange darknet refs 
or
b) Ways to stay on the network: Rendezvous transports. Transports which are 
used only for sending the current IP address to a node which is unable to 
connect because it doesn't know it.

Eventually we will have plugins for both data transports (UDP, TCP, HTTP etc) 
and rendezvous transports (IM, email etc).
