Hi,

I have recently been working with XEP-0186, and I wanted to add notes
from my experience. I think some minor clarifications around when
invisibility stops could be added.

In 2. Requirements / point 2, it says "Invisible mode is active only
for the current session". Could it say ".. only for the current
*presence* session (as defined in RFC 6121 section 4.1)"? I puzzled
over what "session" meant.

In "3.2 User Becomes Visible" I think it would be worth mentioning
that a user can also become visible by ending their presence session,
sending an unavailable presence.

Finally as an implementation note, we noticed that Smack (3.2.2, over
BOSH) was sending two unavailable stanzas when it disconnects. The
first would end the presence session and implicitly the invisibility,
so the second got forwarded, which was not the client's intention. An
implementation note might want to remark that the user should stay
invisible until they start a new presence session (rather than until
the current one ends). We fixed this by not forwarding unavailable
stanzas for an already unavailable user, probably something we should
have been doing already.

I would be happy to send a patch for any part of this.

Best regards,
Graham
