I agree, the former is much better. Does XMPP provide protocol to say "no vCard
for me thanks"?
Now that we have a contact in the Facebook XMPP team, it would be good to make
a list of all these things they don't support and ask them to properly
advertise it. I suspect some XMPP work may be needed but that's worth it I
think.
