This is a feature that has received a lot of end-user requests, and we have no 
other good way to do it, so yes.

If anyone is going to ever implement this feature, let's have a thought out 
approach for them instead of horrible hacks.

Yes, it does.

I've implemented this twice already on the client side - in SleekXMPP and 
stanza.io.

However, I'm not aware of any server-side implementation to use those with.


> 4. Do you have any security concerns related to this specification?

As mentioned in the XEP, it's still very easy to expose the fact that you're 
online, but any method of accomplishing presence invisibility will have that 
issue.


One thing I notice not mentioned in the XEP is client handling of bookmarks set 
to auto join.


> 5. Is the specification accurate and clearly written?

Yes.
