Presence and IntComm WG

[Candace Holman <>]

Hi all,

I was testing the SIMPLE Gaim on pals-dev and talking with Thomas Butter 
about two small problems I noticed.  The problem was that presence 
updates were not posting correctly.  Thomas has fixed (1.) already (in 
SVN, 
http://svn.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.cgi/gaim/trunk/src/protocols/simple/), 
and the other (2.) is in progress.  Since I'm running this on windows, I 
guess I'll have to wait for the executable.

Here was the problem report, if you are interested.

I note (in 1. below)  that you use the construct <im:im> to extend the 
<status> field.  The only reference I can find to <im> is a hypothetical 
extension shown in example 4.3.1 of RFC3863.  Any reason you chose to 
use a <status> extension instead of <note>?  (EyeBeam uses <note> to 
convey extra status information, and cannot interoperate with Gaim to 
convey a special status.)

Also, when I set my client to Offline, I would expect the <basic> to 
change from open to closed, but it stays open as shown in example 2. below.
