Uhm, I'm trying to think together with presence delivery too. Shared roster is bit tricky in that, since shared.jabber.org could tell you that ham...@danemark.net is you roster, and then what? If your server doesn't know that presence is never routed. This seems a special case where some collaboration with server itself is needed In all the other cases instead the presence to the service jid is sufficient >> - what happens when the main roster contains jids in the same >> subdomain of the service?

I was thinking of removal. If it happens that you have s...@msn.jabber.org in the main roster and not more in the gateway it means that you have deleted it, perhaps with a different client, but you server will still think that you have a subscription. Instead if we limit the secondary rosters to a subdomain the client know that missing jids must be deleted from the main roster. (this should happen in the ideal world, but during the transition it will be the rule) >> - do we allow full jids export their own roster to other clients?

I was just wondering if a client entity could be a roster provider for a different client entity. I've no idea of possible applications, and I'd forbid it, but perhaps it's just lack of "vision" ;) bye -- Fabio Forno, Ph.D. Bluendo srl http://www.bluendo.com jabber id: f...@jabber.bluendo.com
