-Presence
-========
-
-A description of presence information and visibility between users.
-
-Overview
-========
-
-Each user has the concept of Presence information. This encodes a sense of the
-"availability" of that user, suitable for display on other user's clients.
-
-
-Presence Information
-====================
-
-The basic piece of presence information is an enumeration of a small set of
-state; such as "free to chat", "online", "busy", or "offline". The default state
-unless the user changes it is "online". Lower states suggest some amount of
-decreased availability from normal, which might have some client-side effect
-like muting notification sounds and suggests to other users not to bother them
-unless it is urgent. Equally, the "free to chat" state exists to let the user
-announce their general willingness to receive messages moreso than default.
-
-Home servers should also allow a user to set their state as "hidden" - a state
-which behaves as offline, but allows the user to see the client state anyway and
-generally interact with client features such as reading message history or
-accessing contacts in the address book.
-
-This basic state field applies to the user as a whole, regardless of how many
-client devices they have connected. The home server should synchronise this
-status choice among multiple devices to ensure the user gets a consistent
-experience.
-
-Idle Time
----------
-
-As well as the basic state field, the presence information can also show a sense
-of an "idle timer". This should be maintained individually by the user's
-clients, and the homeserver can take the highest reported time as that to
-report. Likely this should be presented in fairly coarse granularity; possibly
-being limited to letting the home server automatically switch from a "free to
-chat" or "online" mode into "idle".
-
-When a user is offline, the Home Server can still report when the user was last
-seen online, again perhaps in a somewhat coarse manner.
-
-Device Type
------------
-
-Client devices that may limit the user experience somewhat (such as "mobile"
-devices with limited ability to type on a real keyboard or read large amounts of
-text) should report this to the home server, as this is also useful information
-to report as "presence" if the user cannot be expected to provide a good typed
-response to messages.
-
-
-Presence List
-=============
-
-Each user's home server stores a "presence list" for that user. This stores a
-list of other user IDs the user has chosen to add to it (remembering any ACL
-Pointer if appropriate).
-
-To be added to a contact list, the user being added must grant permission. Once
-granted, both user's HS(es) store this information, as it allows the user who
-has added the contact some more abilities; see below. Since such subscriptions
-are likely to be bidirectional, HSes may wish to automatically accept requests
-when a reverse subscription already exists.
-
-As a convenience, presence lists should support the ability to collect users
-into groups, which could allow things like inviting the entire group to a new
-("ad-hoc") chat room, or easy interaction with the profile information ACL
-implementation of the HS.
-
-
-Presence and Permissions
-========================
-
-For a viewing user to be allowed to see the presence information of a target
-user, either
-
- * The target user has allowed the viewing user to add them to their presence
-   list, or
-
- * The two users share at least one room in common
-
-In the latter case, this allows for clients to display some minimal sense of
-presence information in a user list for a room.
-
-Home servers can also use the user's choice of presence state as a signal for
-how to handle new private one-to-one chat message requests. For example, it
-might decide:
-
-  "free to chat": accept anything
-  "online": accept from anyone in my addres book list
-  "busy": accept from anyone in this "important people" group in my address
-    book list
