As long as its always directed presence elements (ie, with a 'to') that is 
being sent out.  I have vague worries of such a game engine being used 
with a user's regular jabber credentials and annoying everyone on their 
roster with floods of spurious update information.

Quite apart from that, its a good idea.  It means that regular jabber 
servers can be used on the servers, and the normal availability mechanism 
will nicely kick when a game connection disconnects.
