when I ask jabber:iq:version to a contact that is invisible, request is
forwarded to the client. I think it's normal as ejabberd can't know that
someone is invisible (it's just a privacy list), but what should his
client do ?
If it just doesn't answer, I can know he is invisble (if he were really
offline server would have answerd with a recipient-unavailable error
message)
the only solution for the client would be to ask server to reply instead
of the client.
it's of course the same thing for others iq.
So invisible privacy list is useless, it's easy to discover who is
invisible (ok we need to know the resource, but it's not too hard, it
never changes)
