The way it was explained to me is that the
server reads the roster of both the sender
and the recipient, so that it can compare
the subscription types.  That's to prevent
someone from falsifying a presence subscrip-
tion.

I talked about this with a few Jabber.com
developers this morning and we all agree
that the best approach is probably for bots 
to be services rather than clients.  The
downside is that they have to deal with
their own rosters and presence, but the
upside is that they can have total control
over how they do that.
