Hi Benny,
After some reading and commenting with a friend IMHO I still think I'm right ;)
Closed state only implies that the buddy is not available to receive
MESSAGE requests, but he can publish <person> tuples with
display-name, image or _note_.
RFC 3863:
---------------------------
4.1.4. The <basic> element
The <basic> element contains one of the following strings: "open" or
"closed".
The values "open" and "closed" indicate availability to receive
INSTANT MESSAGES if the <tuple> is for an instant messaging address.
They also indicate general availability for other communication
means, but this memo does not specify these in detail.
open: In the context of INSTANT MESSAGES, this value means that the
associated <contact> element, if any, corresponds to an INSTANT
INBOX that is ready to accept an INSTANT MESSAGE.
closed: In the context of INSTANT MESSAGES, this value means that
the associated <contact> element, if any, corresponds to an
INSTANT INBOX that is unable to accept an INSTANT MESSAGE.
------------------------------
That doen't say we can't have a descriptive note. Look at his examples:
http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4827#section-11
It would be nice to have this feature at least as a configurable option ;)
Regards,
