I don't see why being invisible should preclude selectively revealing
myself to certain people or groups of people. If I get found out,
that's my problem, it's not a protocol issue.

I fully agree. I just wonder about people's expectations.

Suppose I'm invisible, and I'm IM-ing both yourself and Matthew about XEP-0198, and we realise we should take this discussion to jdev@. By joining that room, I know that everyone there will know I'm online; but I still don't want everyone else in the world to know I'm online.

Of course, someone in jdev@ could leak my true availability. But so could you or Matthew, when I was speaking to you privately.
