What's wrong with a field that identifies whether a client can be used
to connect to any service?

There *are* clients that are locked down to a specific service. IMHO
they are not of general interest (though they may be of interest to
users of that service), so perhaps it doesn't make sense to list them at
jabber.org anyway, because you could argue they are not jabber clients
in the first place!
