Indeed. You can have a look at the typing notifications and
geolocation
extensions for jabber as they are also doing this.

Absolutely! I was also thinking that what XEP-0113 was
offering was not
enough for building an equivalent to most of the existing wb
tools. In
other words, feel free to extend it.

SVGSalamander looks nice and the license is compatible. They
seem to be
moving to a new project though - https://gazelle.dev.ja
va.net/. We
should keep this in mind and move to it as soon as they have
a stable
release.

It is a very good idea! I would prefer to call it a profile
manager
though, in order to avoid confusion with the protocol
accounts that
users already have.
Here are a few pointers you might need along the way. I
guess you know
this already, but it won't hurt repeating, there is a
property
(net.java.sip.communicator.SC_HOME_DIR_LOCATION) that allows
you to
select a directory where you store all configuration,
history, contact
lists, ... and basically any file that sip-communicator
creates.
Something else. Your profile manager could load as a first
bundle, check
if there are multiple existing profiles and popup a profile
chooser if
this is the case (it should remain silent otherwise). You
could also add
a configuration form that allows users to create and edit
profiles.
Good luck!
