Might be worth mentioning SIP at this point. RFC 3261.

Doesn't solve Rui's original challenge, but is a standardised, potentially
third-party-free (or at worst with an independent choice for each user between
third-parties), way to do the "discovery" part of any protocol which does do
so.

(Please don't get the idea that I /like/ the SIP protocol, I merely note that 
it exists ;-)
