RE: [Simple] Status summary

I agree with Christian. We would lose the meaning of being invisible (or 
actually lurking) if the status will be invisible.

It seems that there are open and close statuses where I think we need to 
get a 
clear definition of those.

It seems that:
* OPEN - The message will be received by the user agent no matter if the 
  user himself/herself is near the terminal. This include away and other 
  hints as idle.

* CLOSED - The message will not be received by the user agent.

As started to discuss with Ben Campbell, it seems that in parallel we need 
to 
decide what is the meaning of other means of conveying the message to the 
user
* If the system implements offline messages will that regarded as open or 
  closed?

* What about SMS, normal phone call, email etc.?

Undisclosed is not a state. When someone is "invisible", they appear
"off line" (closed) to third parties. You definitely don't want a code
point that would say "X is online but would like to appear offline".
