[JDEV] Q: Priority values in presence?

[Jens Alfke]

Is there a generally-used "priority" value that the various clients use when setting presence? libjabber doesn't itself set it, nor does everybuddy (libEBjabber.c). According to the spec, that will default the priority to zero. I want to be well-behaved and not have my client usurp everyone else's in the case of multiple logins.

Do any of the other clients out there use different values?
Is zero considered the default for a normal GUI client? If so, would something like a pager have a negative priority?
Do any of the clients let the user adjust the priority?

And most importantly, is the server at all intelligent about considering availability as well as priority � if two online resources for the same jid both have priority n, but one is available while the other is away or dnd, will traffic be routed to the available one? If not, that implies that a well behaved client should automatically lower its priority as its status becomes less available.

Thanks,
