What does the "Log into Transport" function of Gabber do, then?

What information is supposed to be sent to a transport in the presence
packet?

eh, not really.  First, no application is terminating.  aim-t just goes
offline; however, it does not change the status aim buddies in your roster
to offline, so if you don't notice that aim-t has gone offline, you'll
still think aim buddies are online.  When you try to send them a message,
they won't get it.
