XMPP as a protocol already supports this through a few extensions. Notably:

http://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0313.html
http://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0280.html

And for reliability, this one is fairly important:

http://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0198.html

That said, most clients (including telepathy-gabble) do not support these. I can only think of two that do -
Conversations for Android and Gajim for Linux/Windows. (And Gajim's support is spotty, in my experience.)
