As Sjoerd said on IRC, and I said in Comment #2, the only part of Xavier's
initial request that I want to keep is the requesting.

Having every Telepathy client that has a Connection make D-Bus calls to prepare
every Channel, as an API guarantee that can't be reverted, would be a massive
mistake (been there, done that: see OLPC Sugar during the time I was working on
it, although hopefully it's been fixed since).
