           Summary: Possibly should have constants and documentation for
                    well-known protocol parameters
           Product: Telepathy
           Version: git master
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: medium
         Component: tp-qt4
        AssignedTo: telepathy-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
        ReportedBy: ollisal at gmail.com
         QAContact: telepathy-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org


Currently protocol parameters are just exposed in Tp-Qt4 in
ConnectionManager::ProtocolParameter::name(), Account::parameters(),
AccountManager::createAccount() identified by their bare name as a string. We
should probably provide constants for well-known protocol parameters (at least
the most common mandatory ones) and document their semantics in the
documentation for the constants.

Then again, there probably won't be too many account editing UIs, and when
writing them one should have CM-specific knowledge anyway, so not sure if this
is very beneficial.
