Well, in vCard there is no distinction between "avatar" and "photo",
they are the same thing.
We have been working on a non-vCard approach to avatars, and that would
enable you to define a photo and an avatar separately. Of course some
Jabber clients may already make a distinction, but at the vCard or
protocol level there is no distinction.
