I don't get the point. Why complicate things if the current behavior
(i.e. send presence back to all resources, no exception) is easier for
both the server *and* the client?
Because that is not, unfortunately, the current behavior. (Worse,
there is no strictly defined present behavior.)
The XMPP bis presently suggests servers should NOT do this. And in
line with that, some servers (including some very large, widely used
ones) will not send you presence subscriptions if you are on your own
roster. But some will.
So the situation right now is that you /do/ need the special case
code in order to allow people to put their JID on their own roster
under all cases, even though you do not need the code in /every/ case.
