RE: Letting other's know you have Plus!
euhmmm... I thought all this would come up.... There is a confusion here...
The original idea is NOT invasion of privacy! (invasion of the protocol is another thing, that's true)....
With the /ping command YOU find out if YOUR contact has plus or not... In doing so, your contact MUST be warned about this, otherwise it is an invasion (Plus! does this by showing the text and thus not conflicting with privacy).
With the original suggestion, YOU tell OTHERS that you have plus!, not the other way around! You don't find out if someone else uses Plus! (that's why there is /ping), You tell others that you have Plus!. So there is NO invasion of privacy. And this is only send to a contact, when you start a conversation.
