+ <methodname>GetContactAttributes</methodname> allows us to
+ bulk-request lots of information about a contact. It does not provide a
+ mechanism to receive signals to notify the client of changes to a contact
+ (e.g., their alias, avatar, location, status, etc.).
+ Instead the client should connect to the various signals provided by
+ the interfaces its interested in.
