I need to contact the iChat developers about their support for what we
call "STARTTLS" -- the ability to bootstrap port 5222 from unencrypted
to encrypted. As far as I know, every other major IM client already
supports that. It would be a shame if we prevented iChat users from
accessing the jabber.org service when we turn off the SSL-only port 5223.

Yes, we don't care what operating system or device you use, so someone
using Mac OS can chat with someone using Windows or a mobile device or
whatever. However, the jabber.org service does not include gateways to
AIM or any of those legacy IM services. If you want that functionality,
I recommend that you use a multi-protocol client like Adium. (Yes, you
can connect to AIM users from Jabber, but it's not so easy.)
