The vision is (mostly) possible with a web app, maybe backed up by an extension, right? why do we limit ourselves with an extension instead of a web app?

But I couldn't switch to GAIM on Windows or Miranda (which seemed buggy to me). But like you, I have contact lists on many different clients. I've wanted to attempt to build a XULRunner based chat client that handled all the different protocols. "Use of Firefox’s popular extension mechanism to add new functionality to the contact list." Are you talking about adding "extensions" on top of extensions? "What we really need is a local application that provides consolidated access to both local and remote contact lists. " I think this is the step in the right direction, and why we are seeing things like Adobe Apollo coming to the forefront. This may even be where we need XULRunner to step up and be the platform of choice. I CAN see the benefits of using something like this in-browser, but soon all my "real estate" will be occupied with these apps.

Also mobilephone contacts is a issue - and not beeing forced into MS outlook to sync with PC. E.g. MyPhoneExplorer (free) for SonyEricsson phones is a great alternative here. I'm sure there is a big demand for the ideas presented here. Maintaining different addressbook is certainly a big mess, and an important challenge to solve.

So if you would want a contact list for those services, you'd have to implement the actual client features as well, in order for it to be useful and not stop you from receiving messages or sending them while retaining your in-browser contact list.
