[JDEV] Presence messages

[Robert Temple]

According to the JPG, section 2.7:
Jabber clients should set the user's presence to "available" after the login.

It doesn't seem like most clients send:
<presence type="available">...</presence> when they 
login, instead the type="available" part is left out,
and a <status>online</status> stuck inside of the presence
element.

When they logout they do send a presence message with
type="unavailable".

Is the type attribute assumed to be "available" when it 
is left out?  Or are most clients just implementing 
this incorrectly?

Thanks,
-Robert Temple
