Comment(by deryni):
I don't know about MSN but for XMPP the concepts of being on the roster
and being authorized to see presence are two different things (closely
intertwined things, but different nonetheless). AIM, to the best of my
knowledge, does not have such a distinction which makes this "feature"
trickier. What is unfortunate here is that allowing people to revoke
presence permissions is reasonable but allowing people to modify other
people's buddy lists is not as reasonable and there is no separation
between those actions for AIM.
It certainly seems like we can't do anything to stop this, or detect it if
it happens when we aren't online. It appears that we might be able to
detect it if we are online, though what we should do about it in that case
is not exactly clear.
