Consensus on #pidgin is that certificate errors and AUTHENTICATION_IMPOSSIBLE (which occurs, for example, when the server and Pidgin speak no common auth method on xmpp) should be fatal. This leaves us with exactly one non-fatal condition: network errors.

For information on writing a plugin for Purple, Pidgin or Finch, go
http://developer.pidgin.im and click on API.  From there, see the HOWTOs in the
"Related Pages" section.
