Not unless Psi implements resolution of the pres: URI scheme (i.e.,
doing the required SRV lookup). As far as I know, Psi does not yet
implement that.

Gmail is an integrated service. What if you're using mutt or Thunderbird
or some random MUA and you want to show presence information about a
message author?

Version -06 had an intended status of Informational. I have been
convinced that that's most appropriate.

Probably not yet. You can always request the feature. :)

I don't run an xmpp server at my personal domain, since I use the
jabber.org domain for that. But per RFC 3859 you can type 'dig SRV
_pres._xmpp.jabber.org' and get some results (since we mainly use these
SRV records for server-to-server functionality, the SRV record lists a
port of 5269, which is the server-to-server port for xmpp).

Thanks.
