Good point.
I have to admit that when people say Contact Info I think of address,
external phone number etc. I do not think that anybody is against letting
end user to modify those.

But Robert is right: one of the data items the is 'IM ID' and changing that
would transfer the capability to create change IM accounts from
administrator to user. So may be - just to be on the safe side - let's keep
this one in admin hands till we actually have OpenFire integrated properly
and can assess what types of issues may arise if we let users to control it.

Kevin? Laurentiu? what do you think?
