Hi,
Im a bit confused about begin/end
The XEP says
If a mention element of type urn:xmpp:mentions:0 or
its subtypes contains both begin and end attributes, the receiving entity MAY use this as
a hint that the specified range of the content is being addressed to the specified
occupant.
I dont think this is necessary, as its usual that the content that follows the mention is
addressed to the mentioned user.
What was missing was that we can special format the nickname or the @admin @all etc in the
GUI when we receive a message, without hardcoding some regex or scanning for nicknames.
Regards
Philipp

This specification defines a way to explicitly mention a person or
groups of people.

The Council will decide in the next two weeks whether to accept this
proposal as an official XEP.
