Yes, the idea is that Web sites can control where people chat, so they 
can exercise their domesic authority, but if they don't then default 
mapping rules apply and people meet on a default server.

What kind of API is this? Is it something that can be used by others or 
is it tied to Sametime?

Our concept is to let the client do the mapping from document URL to 
chat rooms by means of mapping rules. The rules use regular expressions. 
This gives much flexibility to map URLs to rooms. It can combine 
hosts/domain names or separate users into different rooms if they have 
different URL query params. And it is simple for Web admins to 
configure, if they like.
