Not exactly: on iOS for example, you can turn on something called "focus
mode", which will mute/hide all notifications. Apps can break through focus
mode for individual notifications if needed.
For me, XEP-0224 is the exact right XEP to let the sender break through focus
mode. Using it for mentions instead would mean I'd have to reinvent XEP-0224
for the focus mode usecase. I'd rather like a new XEP for the various types of
mentions rather than having to reinvent XEP-0224 to be able to implement the
focus mode usecase.
For 1:1 this is perfectly sensible, but do you want people in a MUC to be
able to break through focus mode?
