Right, I was talking about using directed presence to these
contacts.
I didn't say it was an easy solution, but that would be the
'protocol'
solution, albeit a horrible one.
It's much easier to do this type of filtering in the client itself
(it's just an <attention/> stanza), so I don't see any reason for
going into any more details. Just mentioning that the client should
allow a user to disable it is enough; at what granularity or any
other
detail (such as maximum attention send rate and those crazy things)
is
left to the client, and should be left out of protocol specs like
this.
If I send you <attention/>, and your client doesn't honour it from
me, should your client tell me? Or should it tell me if it did?
