The constant changing of everyone's MSN nickname was basically to
provide status information.  With the new version of MSN, and support
for this in PyMSNt - I doubt that nicknames will change nearly as
often as they used to.

see above.

What about adding a User Info to the account menu, like the self
contact menu has.  That way you don't force people to display self
contact, or go via the deep menus.

Jabberd2 does not support the storage of 'misformed' vcard's.  It will
only store what's in the spec.  Hence photo data is lost.
