In this message, I point out the error and state the correct way of receiving presence. FRIGN, please don't call me a help vampire. :> I do plan to write the patch, but it might take me a little while.

Re: https://github.com/younix/sj

in presenced.c in recv_presence(), lines 254-255
    status = mxmlFindElement(node, tree, "status", NULL, NULL,
        MXML_DESCEND_FIRST);
but this always return NULL when I use sj, even for buddies who are online. This is because their presence message does not have a status element. None of the presence messages that I see via sj, either online or offline, have a status element. The standard states that a status element is optional [1]. The standard states that the way to indicate that a buddy is online is the absence of a 'type' attribute. [2].
