mea culpa

So, section 3.4 User Unblocks JID, paragraph last-1:

"When the user unblocks communications with a JID, the user's server MUST send 
the user's current presence information to the JID (but only if the JID is 
allowed to receive presence notifications from the user in accordance with the 
rules defined in RFC 3921)."

It doesn't explicitly say to probe, but 'current presence' should imply sending 
one if necessary..? It would be the same as initially coming online.

Though there's nothing wrong with being more explicit.

I think you misunderstood what Kim meant.

Its about unblocking, so you are obviously again interested in presence, the 
XEP does not mention the client or server should send a probe because the 
presence is stale

If you block a contact, presumably that means you don't want them to see your 
presence and you're not interested in theirs.
In that case, presence going stale is unimportant (shouldn't be shown anyway?), 
and any kind of probes would be considered a leak.

There may be a small case for still viewing their presence for spying purposes, 
but I'm not sure it's worth the extra complication.

[Possibly worth contrasting with XEP-0186 (Invisible Command) where you would 
still want to view presence.]
