A long time ago, we considered allowing nodes to tell other nodes when 
they are most likely to be up.  For each hour of the day, the node would 
have a probability of up-ness, possibly this could be extended to every 
day of the week (this could be represented as a 168 byte array).

This would dramatically increase the usefulness of nodes which are, for 
example, only online in the evening, or during waking hours.
