The problem with this is that there is at least one widely deployed server implementation (popper) which implements LAST without persistence. Suddenly mandating persistence of the LAST value is not going to make these servers go away. It seems persistent-LAST and Status: are being used to do exactly the same thing. The problem is that in it is impossible for a client to determine that a server does not implement one or the other. -- _.John G.
