Why using Nepomuk as a contact store is probably not a good idea

The initial idea that I started to implement for my GSoC last year was 
to offer methods like ensureTextChannel() but that accept nepomuk 
resources (and kde-telepathy contacts) instead of Tp::Contact
The logic behind the choice of the account, of the contact, etc is 
hidden to the user.
Therefore you can ensure a text channel with a person, without knowing 
which account will be used or send a file to a person using the best 
account online (or perhaps by e-mail if the user is not available or if 
he doesn't support file transfer).

Of course there is still a lot of work to do before this can be done
