When I've heard Henning talk about this, the model is still very much
that the user sets the policy and composition rules and uploads them
to a PA via XCAP. I'm not sure where the specification of policy
language stands in SIMPLE.

Note that RPID has "since" and "until" attributes, so some of the
off-line presence that a PA might furnish could have been explicitly
published by a user's presentity. For example, a local calendar app
on a user's laptop might publish "on plane until 18:20 UTC" just
before disconnecting. Authorized watchers should be able to retrieve
this presence from the user's PA while he/she is off-line on the
plane.
