- For notifications in MUCs, to solve the issue that the home server
does not understand details like affiliation/hats, have a new protocol
that allows a sender to indicate which group they want to notify and
then have the MUC translate this into XEP-0224 attention elements when
reflecting the message to applicable recipients.
- For priority notifications in direct chats (if messages aren't
notified by default), just use XEP-0224 directly.
I cant really get on board on the idea that a server translates every message where i am
pinged into a XEP-0224 attention.
This XEP is very old and probably has decades of implementations. I plan to use it for
what it was intended in my opinion and thats to style a message specially e.g. check how
MS Teams does it, see screenshot in attachment.
Now the idea that every time someone pings me, my client marks the message as !!!
IMPORTANT !!! sounds wrong.
