Comment:

 The whole point of invisible status is that you can't tell whether a buddy
 is offline or not. If the Yahoo! client shows the person as offline, then
 that is what we will do as well.

 Additionally, I don't really see how effective this could be. Just because
 the avatar was updated a few seconds ago, it does not mean the buddy is
 still online and invisible now. There would be no way to tell when they
 went offline after that, and just guessing or using a random timeout would
 be just about as useful as saying they were offline in the first place.
