I loved OTR, played with it and Trillian for some time. If memory
serves, OTR was a per-client thing and not a per-protocol thing - I
thought you could run OTR on any protocol that Trillian used?

My webhost used to offer XMPP servers on your domain, but they've gone
from hiding the admin page and not allowing new users to the admin page
getting a 404. Time to start my own...

Can't you just use Facebook Auth?    :)
