In Presence Status can be open or closed. i.e. available or offline.

What the user enters as status in My profile is in the NOTIFY field in the NOTE field.

below is an example of a NOTIFY message fragment:

<tuple id="pjc5bfbf8f38be414d8e0fbd1aea6f58fc">
<status>
<basic>closed</basic>
</status>
<timestamp>2011-11-21T13:17:16.296Z</timestamp>
<note><alc>2012-03-21 09:00:10</alc><text>Out to lunch</text></note>
</tuple>

If NOTIFY arrives for a given contact, we need to download its STATUS, timestamp, NOTE.

In NOTE, the ALC and TEXT tags. In ALC, the date is in the format yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss - Time Zone UTC.

The open or closed status should be shown:

1) in the Contacts list, in the form of an icon next to the Vippie word; three types: full yellow icon available, full gray icon - offline, half yellow icon - on notification.
