And perhaps if you tell a contact you'll bbl (be back later) it can change your status to away, because in general bbl is a longer time than brb.
One thing to improve functionality would to have a customizeable list of phrases for brb, bbl, and i'm back, so that people with different talking/IMing styles can all use the script with equal ease.
Pretty sure you can do this with quicktexts... 'brb' as the shortcut and '/brb' as the message. Same with anything else. Then anything that you would say when you come back and set the message to '/online'
