IM contacts may publish their location (at least XMPP supports that and you can set whether you want to publish yours in Empathy). It would be very useful to use that information to have world clocks for your buddies in addition to the ones you manually add, so that you can see what time it is for the people you're working with without even having to ask them where they are (and maybe how this translates timezone-wise).

I am marking this as WONTFIX. I do not think Clocks itself should start looking at different sources to add world clocks.

It could be Empathy instead that provides a button to add a clock of a contact, we have a dbus api for that. For instance Maps allows you to add a clock for a point on the map.
