 Privacy List'''s'''  is plural (obviously).  This allows for easy/quick
 toggling of allowing/disabling various bits perhaps as one changes one's
 resource.

 * All or nothing subscription authorization is woefully deficient
 * Not all roster members should see my client [version] through IQ
 stanzas.
 * Not all roster members should see all my PEP (mood, activity, tune,
 locus)
 * * [real time] locus, fine grain GPS for example, should only be
 available to friends and not anyone.  Experience a stalker or two before
 deciding against



  XEP-0191 has been implemented but it is not much better than revoking
 subscription- or removing roster member.

 The '''specious''' counter claim that XEP-0016 is "too complicated" need
 be revisited by those who are also f*book users (not me) who can navigate
 f*book "privacy" controls. ''XEP-0016 is at least one order of magnitude
 less complex than f*book analogue.''

     Retrieving one's privacy lists.
     Adding, removing, and editing one's privacy lists.
     Setting, changing, or declining active lists.
     Setting, changing, or declining the default list (i.e., the list that
 is active by default).
     Allowing or blocking messages based on JID, group, or subscription
 type (or globally).
     Allowing or blocking inbound presence notifications based on JID,
 group, or subscription type (or globally).
     Allowing or blocking outbound presence notifications based on JID,
 group, or subscription type (or globally).
