Mm. It's not really adequately specified either in the Telepathy spec or
the XMPP RFC how xa is supposed to be used. However, I think of it as
"away, but has been like that for a long time". Perhaps it shouldn't be
user selectable at all (matching Empathy not showing it), but instead
used automatically when the user hasn't changed their presence status or
initiated any communication in a LONG time (like many hours), except
perhaps if they've explicitly last set dnd/busy? IN addition to any
other auto-away or auto-idle code we may have, which'd set away/idle in
a few minutes or so.

Br,
Olli
