We know that already, and we all know that tp_account_parse_object_path() allow
extracting information like account_id. Is there something you want to
pin-point with this information or you just thought I didn't know ?

All I'm saying is that it would me better to strip off the CM name from the
path when use in logging. This would fit in an API break, as it would mean
giving up on creating TpAccount object (see bug 26648).

While the account path is friendly for creating a TpAccount, it's totally
orthogonal to the notion of logs, which should have been account agnostic from
the beginning. (e.g. Logs from MSN account me at msn.com are the same regardless
what MSN CM your are using). If the protocol does not have an account id, then
the protocol should be the unit for separation.
