The existance of the ChatOnly Name feature is exactly because the protocol does allow you to send specific stuff to a specific chat*. Otherwise there wasn't a chatonly nickname feature to begin with.
Aka: when Messenger sends a line to a chat session*, the name of the sender is included. And it is exactly this name which is changed to have the ChatOnly Nickname feature.

The ID hasn't got anything todo with the protocol...
PS: Code to calculate the ID of contact emails (or text for that matter) is well known (thanks to wtbw): CookieRevised's reply to MSN ID calculator
--------
The POC (proof of concept) script of markee, shows it is very well possible. But it has also some implications: eg: if you have automated messages reacting on something a contact says, the script does not change the nickname again to the contact specific one.
As such... such a request and addition to this feature is best to be implemented in StuffPlug itself (although it will always be limited to single contact conversations*).
* It will never ever be a contact specific nickname, but a chat specific nickname... Stuff is send to sessions, which can contain several contacts... hence
ChatOnly nickname and not ContactOnly nickname.
