Gack my suggestion for "any" url merely compounds the issue you bring 
up. Because it would let someone forward all private/group IM to some 
arbitrary URL as part of the built-in GUI of the viewer. This violates 
the obvious rule of thumb that you cite to not provide a GUI that 
directly violates the TOS.
