  All people watching OR watched are automagically on your roster.  You can 
look at the subscription attribute and see to, from, or both.  To means you 
recieve theirs.  From means they're recieving yours, and both means, well, 
both.  ;-P  If you autoaccept subscriptions, they are automatically in your 
roster.  You may never *see* them if they are subscribed to you, and not you to 
them, but they are on your roster nonetheless..
