Yea but that proposal made the assumption that every server would run a
presence component at a fixed address which is not really feasible in the
real world, and if it wasnt running at that fixed location it wouldnt work,
which isnt really very good.

Yep I totally agree, but it doesnt look good if you method was used and half
of the presence indicators have broken images ;)
