 KNOWN ISSUES
 ============
-- The permit/deny stuff is really funny. If I don't put it there, everything
-works great, if I do, it occasionally works, but not well. I've commented it out
-(again - I swear, this is the most on-again-off-again feature).
-
 - Oscar doesn't do whispering in chat rooms any more (and hasn't for quite a
 while, evidently). So if you want to "whisper" to someone, just IM them.

 want to know. I'm not worried about it, I never use chat. It's not exactly high-
 priority.
 
+- Gaim/TOC can do file transfers, but Gaim/Faim cannot. This is not because
+there is any difference in the two protocols as far as the actual transfer is
+concerned. The only thing preventing this is it is currently not possible to
+recognize when we've received a file transfer request using libfaim. Once
+libfaim can tell us that we've received the request, the only thing we should
+need to change is to have oscar.c wait for one of those notifications and then
+call accept_file_transfer() from rvous.c. No modification of rvous.c should be
+necessary at that point. (The same should apply to IM Images and Voice Chat and
+all the other RVOUS stuff - they are all protocol-independent.)
+
+- What *is* protocol-dependent about the RVOUS stuff is that only Oscar can
+request RVOUS actions, though both can receive them. However, libfaim cannot
+yet make the requests, so there is no difference between Gaim/TOC and Gaim/Faim
+there.
+
+- Warnings and Dir Info are not in libfaim yet, and so are not in Gaim/Faim yet.

 - There are also FIXME's scattered about oscar.c. Grep around for those, figure
 out what needs to be fixed, do that sort of thing. :) (Fixing the things listed
 in KNOWN ISSUES above, or any other bugs you happen to find, is a very good use
