XMPP-IM-20 (not out yet, see the "ietf" module in JabberStudio CVS) has been updated. Messages will only be delivered to a client that has sent negative presence if the message is explicitly addressed to their resource - ie, they won't receive messages addressed to the user. However, presence changes will go to all available sessions, as before. If it wasn't this way, then there'd be little point having negative presence - you might as well just not send it. jabberd2 implements it this way right now, FWIW.
