Though sending roster diffs helps. There is a new possible approach
I've found only after the discussion we had: use just roster push,
that must implemented regardlessly any optimization. The client asks
for the roster adding a timestamp of the last received push, and the
server sends changes as pushes (all timestamped)

Under this topic nobody really seems ready to try the binary path

I'd say BOSH is the easiest way to make things work now. Almost
anything that you get with BOSH for free (implicit transactions, keep
the session alive while disconnected, no need to re-negoziate the
features) can be obtained also with adequate optimizations in TCP
sockets, but these must still be defined and implemented in servers

What we will do is experimenting these strategies with our BOSH
connection manager : we'll keep you informed about the results
