Well, if you're both using non-Google clients and OTR, Google shouldn't
have access to the clear text.

Also, if you use Jabber or other XMPP service, then you're not going
through Google at all. The issue will be convincing people to use that
other service and a client not from one of the big names that will track
the conversation.
