No,
that would be bad..
but I don't think the display mode really matters here, the online contacts 
count doesn't change no matter how 
we display it (it's actually whether we use it or not), same goes for offline, 
and for other groups..
the only difference would be for hybrid where you show the user count instead 
of $count/$total ... 
In that case, the GetUserCount could return a list of [list $count $list] and 
depending on the mode we could 
either show one or show both...
I start understanding why the group count is done in CL code, it's beccause 
it's specific to the CL, since it's 
the CL that shows the info, but it's not something important for the protocol 
to keep that count.. 
because of the ::groups namespace, the count should be there for modularity 
reasons, but if noone else apart 
from the CL uses it, I don't see why it shouldn't be linked with the CL.
I would really go with a compromise by doing the code that counts in the groups 
namespace, but count everytime 
instead of keeping a variable of the count and use that with events...
