           Summary: Support chat state notifications to contacts without the
                    capability
           Product: Telepathy
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: telepathy-gabble
        AssignedTo: telepathy-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
        ReportedBy: will.thompson at collabora.co.uk


Currently, if a contact is invisible, we don't have any capabilities for them.
Because we only send chat state notifications to contacts who advertise support
for it, we don't send chat state notifications to invisible contacts.

XEP-0085 defines a method to implicitly request and discover support for chat
state notifications, even if you don't know that the other contact supports
that capability. If we supported it, then we'd be able to send typing
notifications to offline contacts, and then I wouldn't get told off for not
using the Google Talk client.
