<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">I have some questions about directed presence and roster control. The documentation states that a node can choose to manage its presence directly and can send (and presumably receive) presence messages independent of roster membership. Some implementers have, however, warned us that this is not the case: that presence dissemination is both mediated and blocked by the server according to roster. </FONT></P>
