Description

Maemo 5 uses various extended interfaces beyond what's in telepathy-spec. One such interface is an API for Skype's ability to block unknown contacts:

MSN would benefit from similar functionality.

We should incorporate this functionality into the main telepathy-spec.

One useful possibility would be to align the access control model with that of rich presence.
