Hi,

This is a general question and opinion. As of what I know, most (if
not all) XMPP clients who supports MUC does not support what section
7.6 (Converting a One-to-One Chat Into a Multi-User Conference).

XMPP is often used within companies, and often heard opinion is that
many prefer closed system such as MSN or Skype due to the fact that
they implement the behavior of section 7.6 of the MUC XEP, considering
the common scenario when a discussion is initiated between two
parties, but needs a temporary way to let it involve more people.
There is the protocol specification, but I have trouble finding
support for it in clients.

What clients are there that supports this part of MUC, and are
developers of other clients planning to add this feature?

Jonas
