  * summary:  Simple way to renable presence notification in XMPP protocol?
              => XMPP should really support privacy rules

Comment:

 DBDigital: XMPP privacy is much more flexible than most other protocols,
 so yes you would be able to block presence separately from messages and
 conversely block messages without blocking presence. But the better way is
 to stop doing this at all. =)

 hdh: If you 'cancel presence notification' for a buddy your subscription
 status with that buddy with then be 'to' because you are subscribed to
 them but they are not subscribed to you. While in that subscription status
 servers are supposed to ignore outbound subscribed stanzas according to
 the XMPP RFC. So, no, sending a presence of that type shouldn't work to
 get you back to a status of 'both'.
