I think the Facebook example provided in that post is exactly what they are trying to avoid- people entering their usernames and passwords into random chat clients. After all, you have no idea what they do with them.

And then they (Facebook) expect you to give them your mail- and other IM credentials.

At least they do have DIGEST-MD5 auth, so you can still login with most normal XMPP clients.
