If your aim is for this information to (be able to) replace what the CM says,
this format is a regression: we're rapidly moving away from the idea that a
channel type and a handle type is enough to identify any "class of channels",
because it's just not true any more.
AFAICT there are two things to support here:
• Hide particular RCCs. For instance, the no-voip variants of the N900's
Jabber profile could be represented by saying "hide everything with
org.freedesktop.Telepathy.Channel.ChannelType:
org.freedesktop.Telepathy.Channel.Type.Text", or by listing exactly the
RCCs we want to hide. The latter is easier. As another example, we know
that Facebook connections are not going to support File Transfer
channels — even if other contacts are using real XMPP clients, their
server doesn't let <iq/> stanzas through in general. (As an aside, the
type of a channel is a fully-namespaced interface name, not "text".)
• Tweak RCCs. So the SIP case Simon gives: SM channels will have
ImmutableStreams: True.
The format should be based on a list of serialized
Requestable_Channel_Classes (which are (a{sv}as)), not by some custom
hierarchical structure.
