I do agree that automatic away/idle stuff can cause a high number of  
presence changes.  On the other hand, at this point, I think we've  
probably talked this to death.  (And I admit that's at least partly my  
own fault.)

I'm fine with either a best-practices form of iq:version queries, or  
just putting the n and v attributes (and optionally 'os') into caps.   
Since we now have a XEP-0115 draft with n/v/os, let's go with that  
unless anyone has a real major objection?
