Streamtubes are definitely enough to send information, but I believe
that it is quite redundant because the infinote protocol includes also
chat and more stuff that aren't required because they are already
offered by telepathy...

It doesn't clash, but at the same time you can have a telepathy text
channel AND a chat handled by the infinote protocol.
The first can be handled by telepathy-chat-ui, etc. the second requires
that you handle it completely... And you also lose logging, approver, etc...

Anyway, I'm not trying to say that it won't work, I believe it will work
actually, but doing it in this way you will lose some of the wonderful
features offered by telepathy. ;)
