Ah, I see your reasoning for that. So if the user's server maps 
blocklist changes to the default privacy list, it seems that the 
following rules apply:

1. If all of a user's clients always use simple communications blocking, 
then the default privacy list will be equivalent to the blocklist and 
the default privacy list will be a kind of "virtual list" (in the sense 
that it is never modified directly by any of the clients).

2. If one of a user's clients uses privacy lists instead of blocklists 
and modifies the default privacy list by removing a blocked JID or 
blocking a new JID, then that change will be reflected in the blocklist.

3. If one of a user's clients uses privacy lists and does anything but 
block or unblock a JID, then that change will not be reflected in the 
blocklist (since blocklists can't handle anything except blocked or 
unblocked JIDs).

4. If one of a user's clients removes the default privacy list and 
substitutes a new list for the old list, the blocked JIDs in the new 
default privacy list (if any) will become the new blocklist.

Anything else?
