The XMPP Extensions Editor has received a proposal for
a new XEP.

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
