Thanks for your feedback.

If the invitation doesn't work, sending a URI and clicking on it
works in some, but not all clients. Some clients just doesn't have
any menu option for connecting to a MUC. Coccinella could connect
to a remote MUC (in another domain) while getting an invitation,
but it was impossible in the menu system.

I will have to check the writings in the baseline client XEPs.
If it's not describe there, maybe we should incorporate some basic
guidelines in the 2009 edition.
