Same answer.  If you use these different identities indiscriminately --
i.e. you aren't using the jabber account exclusively for some special
role, like work or an official function -- then they are just different
IDs for the same person, and a single key seems best.

(Good luck trying to explain that the jabber ID isn't an email address;
it was a damned stupid idea making the jabber ID look like an email
address, in my book.  Namespace collision only leads to pain.)
