That's not entirely true. In the unprobable case that the US someday  
in the future gets its head out of its ass and starts to adopt IPv6,  
stuff like direct connections will be a no-brainer (except when  
firewalled, but that's another issue).

That also means that we should take care of supporting IPv6 in our  
networking stuff from the beginning, it's not that hard. The Smack- 
based plugin already does (I had to add a single line of code for that).

Note that iChat doesn't work here from my network to a friend's (both  
behind a NAT). I tried everything I could think of (including  
installing an uPnP-Daemon on my Linux router), no dice. Skype works  
fine.
