Because it doesn't matter what account I'm using, I still want to have the same OTR fingerprint. That would allow me to switch IM accounts, between jabber servers perhaps, and still be able to verify my identity no matter which account I use. Requiring a unique OTR key for each account just doesn't make sense. May we have only one key, please?

Sometimes we wish to masquerade under more than one key. So while having only one key, NOT one key per account, is a good thing, it would also be nice to be able to select what key to use for which account from a list of identities. Note: we can NOT do that at present, because the key is irrevocably tied to the account. That should change, pronto.
