> - Having a oma pres-rules document which just points to a resource-lists document means that we can no longer get the policy for a watcher by just looking at pre-rules. This makes me think that we need a single document to store a buddy-list, which also contains the  policy for each buddy.

SO what I say and repeat 1000 times: authorization MUST be an
*attribute* of each buddy. Period. Drop "users lists" named
"allowed-buddies" / "blocked-buddies", that's not the way to go.

buddylist:
--------------------
sip:[e-mail] {
  presence-subscribe-to: true,
  presence-allowed: true,
  presence-blocked: false
}

sip:[e-mail] {
  presence-subscribed-to: true,
  presence-allowed: true,
  presence-blocked: true
}
--------------------

And that's all. This is easy to render for the watcher and easy to
process for the server. Single "document" with buddies and their
attributes.

No need for "external references to other XCAP documents in any other
server in the world", no need for generating a coredump if the same
buddy is contained in "oma_my_buddies" list and "my_blocked_contacts"
list and "oma_PoC_contacts" list and "oma_featured_buddies" list.
