I have no idea what users really want. :) But I agree that a lot of end 
users would probably like to know the last presence of their buddies 
(e.g., so they can receive cool logout messages). However, there is no 
limit on the size of the <status/> element, so these presence stanzas 
*could* be quite large if people start to use this feature as a form of 
blogging...
