I am a developer of a wireless Jabber client. I think the idea of
pausing/resuming presence information is an interesting one.
It is neat to block incoming presence information by using the
privacy list. To resume the incoming presence information, we will
have to do a presence probe on every roster. This is certainly not
ideal. There should be a way for us to retrieve the presence changes
(deltas) only. We may as well bring this idea to improve the XMPP
protocol?
Is there really a huge battery savings? Has anyone performed any
field testing of this idea?
Thanks.
Regards,
Tony Cheung

what about sending: <presence type="unavailable" />

You can block incoming presence (privacy lists in XMPP-IM), but I
have no idea how you will know their presence once you want to.
