Nice idea!  But then we'd have to *require* all OTR clients to implement
this.  Since not all OTR clients use libotr (there are a number of
compatible implementations now, though not yet of the new version of the
protocol), it seems bad to force them to change their behaviour because
of a wart in the API of libotr.

Thanks,
