Well, in vCard there is no distinction between
"avatar" and "photo", 
they are the same thing.

We have been working on a non-vCard approach to avatars, and
that would 
enable you to define a photo and an avatar separately. Of
course some 
Jabber clients may already make a distinction, but at the
vCard or 
protocol level there is no distinction.

HTH,

Peter
