If that's all, I think XEP-0191 §5 only lacks a more precise mapping of 0016 
privacy list to block list.

It's the server's responsibility to return an adequate block list, which is 
built/mapped from a privacy list.
E.g. if the privacy list contains a single rule:
<item type='group'
          value='Enemies'
          action='deny'
          order='1'/>

The server would translate it to a block list, which contains all contacts in 
the 'Enemies' roster group.

IMO, it's not a client interop issue, but a server mapping issue and a lack of 
well specified mapping rules.
