    <tp:docstring>
      <p>An interface for channels for receiving notifications of remote contacts'
      state, and for notifying remote contacts of the local state.</p>

      <p>Clients should assume that a contact's state is Channel_Chat_State_Inactive
      unless they receive a notification otherwise.</p>

      <p>The Channel_Chat_State_Gone state is treated differently to other states:</p>
      <ul>
        <li>It may not be used for multi-user chats</li>
        <li>It may not be explicitly sent</li>
        <li>It should be automatically sent when the channel is closed</li>
        <li>It must not be sent to the peer if a channel is closed without being used</li>
        <li>Receiving it must not cause a new channel to be opened</li>
      </ul>

      <p>The different states are defined by XEP-0085, but may be applied to any suitable protocol.</p>
