I wasn't around for the discussion (I was sleeping for once) but my plan for a while has been to add a new attribute to signal this. Setting probe='true' would ask the server to send probes (and thus risk revealing your connected state) or probe='false' to not do this, but understand you may not receive presence from your contacts.
