/**
* The ProtocolProvider interface should be implemented by bundles that wrap
* Instant Messaging and telephony protocol stacks. It gives the user interface
* a way to plug into these stacks and receive notifications on status change
* and incoming calls, as well as deliver user requests for establishing or
* ending calls, putting participants on hold and etc.
* <p>
* An instance of a ProtocolProviderService corresponds to a particular user
* account and all operations performed through a provider (sending messages,
* modifying contact lists, receiving calls)would pertain to this particular
* user account.
*<p>
* ProtocolProviderService instances are created through the provider factory.
* Each protocol provider is assigned a unique AccountID instance that uniquely
* identifies it. Account id's for different accounts are guaranteed to be
* different and in the same time the ID of a particular account against a given
* service over any protocol will always be the same (so that we detect attempts
* for creating the same account twice.)
