So that means that when I send a <presence> packet to 
subscribe/unsubscribe from someone's presence, that my roster will 
implicitly be updated by the server?

However, libEBjabber.c always does a "set" on the roster after 
subscribing / unsubscribing, which is what confused me. Is this 
redundant?
