I suppose that's true. The main thing is the problematic

	<message>
		<body>Some troll statement</body>
		<mention occupantid="blah" />
		<mention occupantid="blah2" />
		<mention occupantid="blah3" />
	</message>

Where these users get notified but don't know why. This was an early 
complaint when I implemented https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0224.html which 
I solved by highlighting the message as "this one is to everyone" in the UI.  
But when it's not to everyone, and indeed if 99% of the time there will be 
your name in the message, it makes more sense to highlight a name then to 
add some other UI. At which point you have a dependency on whatever does (a) 
anyway and they might as well be together if you need them both...
