We can write a brief XEP on how servers should "convert" between PEP/vCard/http avatars anyway, because seems like adoption of PEP-based avatars is failing. I'm personally ready to implement such XEP in ejabberd. > Also while HTTP upload is handy, I still think that we have far > better tools with Jingle, I only see HTTP upload as an ad-hoc quick > and dirty solution, not as something we should use to build more > elaborate things. No way Jingle is a better tool, really.
