Few thoughts on this:

Should BlockedContacts be a property instead of the method GetBlockedContacts()
?

Should the interface require implementing Conn.I.ContactList like
Conn.I.ContactGroups does?

Do any such protocols exist? To my mind it's not useful to the client if it
can't be edited anyway.

I agree, I don't think we want that. It's only going to be confusing to the
user when her changes don't persist between connections.

If someone did want such a feature in their CM, they could always choose to
implement the interface, and maintain their own blocked-list as a file on disk.
