Without trying to sound too much like a smart-alec - do it.
Write a greasemonkey script which adds a field "JID" to the Amazon sign-up page, then either uses a Javascript XMPP library to request your details or post your JID to a resource which can do it for you (like a bot already in your roster) via XMLHTTPRequest, and auto-populate the fields from the returned XMPP stanza/XML.
I'm sure I'm glossing over some of the finer details, but I don't see why you couldn't do this part of it at least (the pub/sub part is probably impossible without their co-operation).
