> Relatedly, should I change this to Conn.I.ClientTypes then?

Yes please. Other errata I'd like to see in the first merged version:

* add 'game' or 'gaming-device' or something (MSN would map the XBOX flag to
this, and in principle there could be a Playstation or Wii XMPP client)

* talk to the XMPP Registrar about getting 'game' and 'sms' added to the
registry - if they're useful for us, they're useful for other people

Things that can be deferred for later:

* Jonny thinks the ClientTypes interface should be defined to give the client
types of the resource visible via SimplePresence; I wonder whether it should be
the union of all resources. Open question, doesn't need to be answered for a
draft.

* Some way to set your own client type(s), other than by hard-coding them like
Gabble currently does. I think it should be a connection manager parameter
whose name is well-known - perhaps even a DBus_Property.

* Perhaps it would be appropriate to put software name and version, if known
(in XMPP it is), in this interface?
