But really, I'd like to have chatrooms send these out rather than the mentioning client, and the mention have some markup injected by the client so we're not string matching *there* - I agree the client doesn't need to.
So: 1) I mention you in a chatroom: <message type='groupchat' ...> <body>SamWhited, Hey, Goffi's working on something clever.</body> <mentions><jid>go...@example.com</jid><jid>samwhi...@example.net </jid></mentions> </message> 2) The chatroom (MIX/MUC) can see SamWhited's presence in the room, so knows he'll see that anyway. But maybe you're offline - so it sends you the notification so you know to catch up, using the protocol you're proposing. 3) When you're back online, the chatroom might even send the notification *then*, rather like a lot of bots do now. Still, all this thinking obviously means I think we should formalize "mentions" into protocol, so +1 to this spec, even if I think we need to add in the formalized mention as well as the notification. ++ > Goffi > _______________________________________________ > Standards mailing list > Info: http://mail.jabber.org/mailman/listinfo/standards > Unsubscribe: standards-unsubscr...@xmpp.org > _______________________________________________ >
