A 'cool' feature here would be that each client can use their own
conference server to connect to (i.e. lluna uses the lluna chat
server, and sametime uses the sametime chat server).  Then it would be
neat to 'link' the lluna and the sametime chat servers together (very
much IRC servers are linked together).

This way you would get redundancy, but I'm not sure how practical it
is.  The biggest problem with any centralised architecture is that
it's centralised.  This almost needs a distributed p2p
rendezvous-style MUC server implementation.
