           Summary: Support more ways to be invisible (XEP-0186, maybe XEP-
                    0126, maybe whatever Google does)
           Product: Telepathy
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: low
         Component: telepathy-gabble
        AssignedTo: telepathy-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
        ReportedBy: simon.mcvittie at collabora.co.uk

Possible ways to become invisible on XMPP include:

* XEP-0018 (rejected, non-RFC-compliant) <presence type="invisible"> (we
support this one)

* XEP-0126 (use of privacy lists, obsoletes XEP-0018)

* XEP-0186 (obsoletes both of the above)

and I've heard rumours that on Google servers you can become invisible by
sending <presence type="unavailable"> but remaining connected.

Ideally we should support more of the possible ways to become invisible -
XEP-0126 is probably terrifying (it contains the phrase "privacy list") but
XEP-0186 doesn't look too hard.

Patches welcome...
