How can HD skins be used as minecraft avatar in online SMP?

Question

The 64x32 pixels of the default resolution skin look rather crappy if one uses a HD texture pack, but that's the only resolution allowed to for upload to the profile on http://www.minecraft.net. I can of course play in offline mode, which gives me the texture pack's default char.png which I could replace with my favourite HD skin, but in SMP everyone would look the same (if the server doesn't require online at first, that is). So, is there any possibility (vanilla, client mod, bukkit plugin, anything...) to walk around with HD skins in a HD world?

Answer

The possibility does not exist yet, but then again, why would you wanna do that? The whole game is about squared and pixels. This would ruin the experience of minecraft.

I also remember something about Notch saying hi wouldn't want that because then people would bring in +18 stuff in the game trough their skin.
