You can probably blaim DJ Adams for this since in "Programming Jabber"
on page 150 (at least my copy) it says that <show>normal</show> is both
valid and what to send if you are available.

The spec also mentions that you should ignore all other values so you
should probably just through the <show/> part away if it's not one of
"away", "chat", "dnd" or "xa" (though I don't know how you see those in
your roster the value should probably not be shown directly to the user
anyway).

As for the compliance testing project I don't see the benefit of this
since most projects already  have issue trackers of there own. Just
report the protocol compliance issues in those trackers so that they get
tracked together with other bugs of that software. Imho, a protocol
compliance issue shouldn't be handled differently than other bugs.
