Treat name@ as component-local room link

[Dag]

That is, in jdev@conference.jabber.org, make jabber@ a link to xmpp:jabber@conference.jabber.org.

Do you think it's really obvious for users? Only you and me will know this behaviour ...

I think it is a commonly used short name. Also, it would be highlighted as a link, and have a tooltip. If clicking should join instantly with the current nick or bring up the groupchat dialog to choose a nick, I don't know.

I know one annoyance coming from IRC is linking and refering to other rooms, and quite often you want to refer to rooms on the same network/server.

I also think other clients follow if one client does something useful they don't. Could also turn outgoing foo@ into <a href="xmpp:foo@this">foo@</a> for XHTML-IM.

Perhaps this should be hinted in some XEP aswell, as optional behavior of course (console clients etc might not handle links at all).

I can think of false positive like:

"send a mail to postmaster@"

or a conversation talking about another muc component and omeone saying "join jabber@" but he is talking about the other server.

Without context it's hard to know what you are talking about.

The correct way to send him a muc address is xmpp:room@server.tld. This way your contact can click on it without ambiguity. Or invite him to this room.

sounds like it could be done by a string substitution plugin or even added to the muc xep
