  Kinda what I was hinting at, as where they.

  Sounds like we have a start to a presence transport then.  Please go read up on the IETF Presence and IM specs.  They basically talk about EXACTLY what your talking about.  Hell, if this works out, we can already be 100% compliant with at least the requirments of the presence side (We're already nearly compliant on the IM side, once Info/Query and Filters are in place)

  I agree 100000%.
