[jdev] Presence Subscription to nonexistent contact

[Daniel Dormont]

I read through that, but I still don't follow why the server would not
send some kind of response back to the user about the contact not
existing, even if it's just another roster push to remove the contact.
But in both cases, whether or not the contact exists, I get the same
response:

<iq id="push3246656642" xmlns="jabber:client" from="user at mydomain"
to="user at mydomain/myresource" type="set">
<query xmlns="jabber:iq:roster">
<item ask="subscribe" subscription="none" jid="contact at mydomain"></item>
</query>
</iq>
