Allow me to rephrase in simpler terms:<br>
<br>
When someone is sending an SMS to a particular<br>
laptop in a school, how do they address it ?<br>
<br>
Currently, the only ID which is unique school-wise is the<br>
hash of the UUID used by the presence service.<br>
Nicknames are not unique across a school.<br>

As I mentioned earlier to Ankur in a separate email, I believe the<br>
real problem here isn't technically how to connect to the presence<br>
service,<br>
but rather that the presence service offers no human-usable ID which<br>
is guaranteed to be unique within a school.<br>

This application won't run on the XO so it doesn't have to use<br>
presence-service at all.<br>
