What bother me a bit here, is that everything happens for people already in 
the MUC.

One of the major thing I want to be able to do with mentions, is mentioning 
people outside of a room. So I can be in many rooms without being actively 
present there and receiving all messages, I may want just to check them when 
I'm mentioned.

Another thing, is that this specification is chat only. So what do we do for 
pubsub mentions? Do we need another spec?

Mentions from XEP-0372 handle both cases. So what is the plan? Replace 
XEP-0372 by this? Use both in parallel? Extend with other XEPs?

As a side note, I agree with Marvin that is should be at least 2 specs (one 
for Markup [XEP-0394] and one for message importance). And with the general 
complexity of the current version, maybe more.

I like the general idea of being able to mention by affiliation of hats.


Best,
Goffi
