You are so coy.  :)  But to be fair, SSO != "giving your password to
another service".  The way the Drupal jabber module works, you have to
trust the site with your password, which could be so easily captured
and THEN sent to the Jabber server.  Real SSO would bypass the site
requesting authentication, and only give it a token that would allow
you in.
