 Presence
 ========
 
-In the following messages, the presence state is an integer enumeration of the
-following states:
-  0 : OFFLINE
-  1 : BUSY
-  2 : ONLINE
-  3 : FREE_TO_CHAT
-
-Aside from OFFLINE, the protocol doesn't assign any special meaning to these
-states; they are provided as an approximate signal for users to give to other
-users and for clients to present them in some way that may be useful. Clients
-could have different behaviours for different states of the user's presence, for
-example to decide how much prominence or sound to use for incoming event
-notifications.
+In the following messages, the presence state is a presence string as described in
+the main specification document.
