That's called a client-interest actually, we already have mechanism for that. I
though about using that, but IIRC Simon wasn't all happy. If we go that way, I
think it could make sense to separate interest in self avatar and in other
contacts avatar, because MC will always (actually depending on the
AvatarPersists property I guess) be interesting if self avatar to store it and
re-set on reconnect.
