it has changed too many times in the IETF. 

 (and I don't refer to the historical set of nine IM&P standards ;),
  historians may wish to look at 2000 status when there were only
  three more left
  
http://www.iptel.org/ietf/presence/outdated/draft-rosenberg-impp-differences-00.txt)

there are now on the table two -00 WGs items
http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-simple-publish-reqs-00.txt
draft-ietf-simple-publish-00.txt

it will take some time till they get stable (hopefuly they will) and 
implemented.

Till then, I think it is fair enough for most apps to change presence status
using local server interface. All in all, that's easier to do than building in
a SIP stack in every application.
