Description Danielle Madeley 2011-04-12 05:57:52 UTC 
Some protocols can store phone numbers in their contact roster. It should be possible for clients to display these with a little phone next to them, and indicate the "contact" is in fact a just a phone number (clients could also then choose to filter them out).

I propose adding a status identifier 'pstn' which is part of Connection_Presence_Type_Available.

Rationale: the number is always AVAILABLE to be called/SMSed (exactly what channels come from the contact caps as per usual), but it's different to a regular AVAILABLE contact in that it's actually a phone number.

I agree. Here's a branch which adds this: <http://cgit.collabora.co.uk/git/user/wjt/telepathy-spec-wjt.git/log/?h=more-status-identifiers>

It also adds a "chat" identifier, matching what we already implement in Gabble.

I also took the opportunity to make the table look a bit nicer. You can see the result at <http://people.freedesktop.org/~wjt/telepathy-spec-more_status_identifiers/spec/Connection_Interface_Simple_Presence.html#description>!

Lemme know if these look good, and I'll merge them up.
