While I also find the potential for protocol use attractive, the XEP cites
many reasons that client-side works better than server-side for this
feature.

Personally I never use mute/ignore in clients these days, largely because
no matter how annoying someone is, there are inevitably conversations where
I need to see their messages in order to piece together a conversation.

In other words, the XEP was designed this way on purpose, not purely
because of the lack of occupant IDs in JIDs.
