Yes, spec to follow.

I know that Openfire used to have automated integration with Asterisk so
that if you accepted a voice call, your presence would automatically
change to "On the Phone". On the WebEx team we do something similar,
although the magic string is "In a WebEx Meeting". I don't know if any
voice and video clients currently do something similar, but the Jitsi
team was keen on this a while back for their Jingle integration. I've
heard of use cases for "engaged IRL" but I will seek out the people who
pinged me about it to double-check.
