-Currently Pidgin does nothing with received emoticons.  It could save a lot of bandwidth if a cache of received emoticons existed.  It could also be merged with local custom smileys so we have a unified way to manage these files.  The cache can be done per session, per conversation, per account, or as a global permanent cache (just as buddy icons).  The preferred method is a permanent cache so emoticons could be fetched only once.
+Currently libpurple does not store received emoticons.  It could save some bandwidth if a permanent cache of received emoticons existed.  It could also be merged with local custom smileys so we had a unified way to manage these files.  The cache should store distinct sets of unique identifier indexed smileys for every protocol, so each protocol could use different checksum type.  These smileys could be mapped to sha1-indexed (or any other, common hash) image files, that could be common for all protocols.
