I believe you  need to set the service it to the id of the transport,  
not of your jabber server.  So something like:
<service id="msn.myhost.mycompany.com">
   <host>myhost.mycompany.com</host>

Sadly, yes.  (or you can install webreg and use that to register with  
the transport, it's off James's site)  I'm aiming to build webreg's  
functionality into the built-in web interface for PyAIM and PyICQ at  
some point soonish.  Gaim has good functionality to be able to -have-  
a service browser, but I think it needs someone who would enjoy  
writing that.  I considered doing it myself but I had to whap myself  
and tell myself "no, you need to focus on PyAIM, PyICQ, and JWGC".   
=)  Anyway, I would recommend grabbing a copy of Psi, using that to  
register with PyMSN, and then going back to whatever client you  
want.  (once you are registered, you are good to go, don't need to  
stick with Psi)
