Great!

At the moment, Empathy just check the RequestableChannelClasses on the
Requests interface. The code is in empathy-tp-contact-factory :
get_requestable_channel_classes_cb

It just check the ChannelType and TargetHandleType so that should work
with your CM.

Are you talking about
org.freedesktop.Telepathy.Connection.Interface.ContactCapabilities.DRAFT ?
Empathy doesn't use it yet. See
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=564409


> Is there a mistake in my implementation, or do I have additional interfaces I need to implement? What version of the spec does Empathy use? Any help would be appreciated.

Looks good. Maybe add some print debug in Empathy's code to try to
understand what's the problem?
