[JDEV] How to find whether a user is offline from user.xml file

[Peter Saint-Andre]

State is not kept in the user.xml file, it's maintained in the Jabber
session manager. Do you want to be able to see the state of any random
user? And are you interested in getting this information for users on a
server that you run (i.e., you are the server admin) or for any old
server?
