At least thats my thoughts on what he said.
Yes, those are really two different models. The idea behind presence-based delivery is that it is similar to presence itself -- I don't need to specifically request presence from each of my buddies, instead when I log in I start receiving interesting information. The extended presence model used in PEP (which is the basis for all of the presence-based delivery stuff) follows a similar model. For more structured interactions, the model you suggest makes more sense.
