Not an objection. But I am a bit worried by this change when I look at 
my roster. However, at the same time I know that my roster is most 
probably not a very typical one. Do we have any stats? What's the

doesn't matter that presence list increases 3 times if this means 
increasing from 3 to 9 presence stanzas?
