	As Eitan recently said in his post.... maybe an option to show  
"administrative" activity in a conversation (or any other name that  
describes it, say "non conversational activities") could be added to  
the Chat Transcript Viewer (CTV)? I see these are usually (always?)  
<event type foo bar (...) /> entries, does the CTV parse/read those  
to begin with? If so, a toggle button could display/hide them,  
defaulting to off (and maybe the button could even be off the default  
toolbar set in the CTV, therefore at least trying to stick to 1.0's  
minimalist approach). Sound fair?

	In any case, selecting a particular log and not having the CTV react  
in any way what-so-ever (all I saw was a blank window that was  
already there) is in my opinion way less than user friendly. I had to  
read the log with a terminal pager and then start this thread to find  
out what was going on... what about those who don't even know what  
Terminal.app is? In case no toggle button is added to display  
conversation "administrative activity", some kind of output should be  
sent to the user when a transcript with no displayable items is  
encountered, I believe.

	Feel free to ping me if you'd like help to hunt this down... I'm no  
Cocoa coder, but I believe I have a good reputation as a beta tester ;-)
