Perhaps we should adopt the term 'supported client' when talking about a 
client which is recommended by a server administrator for use on that 
server?  It seems to be more descriptive (i.e.  If you have problems 
using this client on my server I will help you, there may also be 
documentation on the server's web site about it, but it is in now way 
endorsed by the JSF, and may not actually be any better than any of the 
others, it's just the one with which I am most familiar)

If I make a portal and choose an official client for it (and call it
exactly that), there's nothing you can do about it. It's very
unfortunate if that would piss you off (for you), but I don't see any
reason why it should upset you in the first place? The choice of 
client in Jabber is not limited to the end-user. The provider of the 
server has the same right of choosing a client. And yes, it can go 
hand in hand with promotion of Jabber. Tipic comes to mind as an 
example. 
     

Sure.  Your website - you get to choose whatever client you like.  Why 
would I have a problem with that?  I think you misunderstand me...
   

Rachel Blackman writes for example:

 

On my server Psi is the "official client". There are downloads that 
bundle Psi with fitting SSL certificates for this server, with 
localization resources and some additional icons. There is a small 
introduction on how to set up Psi. So, "Psi" is the "official 
client" for jabber.fsinf.de, if you like to say so. Most users of 
this server use Psi and seem satisfied. 
     

This is exactly the sort of example I meant in terms of an 'official
client'.  It doesn't have to be for all of Jabber, just for whatever 
this system is.
   

You respond to this:

Rachel - seriously, drop the term "Official Client" - please. That 
is really going to start pissing off other client developers 
(starting with me).
       

Maybe you're the one who is misunderstanding something?
