Anyone know what the actual problem is? Is it really that all of these
clients were doing something against spec?

It seems kind of funny that more than one client would get such a
fundamental feature wrong...


The feature is pretty new.  Additionally there are two conflicting specs on
how to implement it.  (XEP-0172 User Nickname and XEP-0144 Roster Item
Exchange versus JEP-01xx Roster Subscription Synchronization)

Pandion is too old to implement the new spec, so that's not a good client to
test with, unless you patched it.  I can't really speak for Miranda, but
generally multi-protocol clients don't have great xmpp implementations.  The
Psi betas are pretty up-to-date with the new spec, so I expect them to work
much better.

Note: that PyMSNt doesn't implement the new spec, so it doesn't really work
with anything.  Oddly enough PyYIMt seems to implement at least the new spec
which surprised me when I saw it.
