Presence and IntComm WG

[(Dennis Baron)]

I agree that we should be trying to figure out how to deal with
multiple sources supplying presence information.  I also agree with
Mike that this isn't going to be an easy problem to solve.

Does anybody know what other services are doing?  I know that when I
"log into" AIM from two different places it asks both instances if
they want to disconnect the other one.  I haven't tried not doing
that.

I'm a little confused about what this variable is.  Is the client
telling the PA to "subscribe to my presence" with an Expires of N
seconds?  If that's the case shouldn't the PA be resubscribing before
that interval expires?
