Comment (by valombre):

 I'm not sure you've understood the purpose of <active/> too, it's not only
 bound to typing status, it's about the activeness of the window so if the
 other contact has or not focused the window recently. I find that feature
 very usefull, but all is a matter of context, habits, ...

 And about what you're missing, yes, you're missing that other jabber
 clients (as Gajim) support the entire XEP as it's defined and that if you
 decide to not use <active/> and <inactive/>, you're stuck with a frustant
 "XXX is paying attention to the conversation" in Gajim as it's not the
 case at all. I suppose standards are made to avoid this sort of things,
 aren't they ?
