Spec meeting notes:

First problem: Gabble doesn't think chat.facebook.com is a valid handle.

• Should Gabble let you request a handle for JIDs with no node part? If
  so, then if you mistakenly try to contact 'will.thompson' rather than
  'will.thompson at collabora.co.uk', the failure will occur much later
  than it currently does (since at the moment Gabble won't give you a
  handle, or a channel, for the former).
• Idle is a bit more tolerant of contact IDs it receives from the
  network than those it receives over D-Bus, because bip uses a nickname
  that's illegal per the IRC RFC. This would be an acceptable stop-gap
  solution in Gabble, too.

Second problem: what do we do about channels appearing as the connection
closes?

• this could be a property of the disconnecting state in hypothetical
  Telepathy 1.0?
• add a flag for "i'm well behaved, i'll close up my own channels"
  · problem: then you have to ack all the messages before you can
    reconnect
  · here's a bad idea: uniquify channel paths across connections, make
    channel outlive connection. rejected: you need the connection to
    look up aliases and do other useful things with a channel.
  · here's another bad idea: re-use connections, rather than having them
    die when they become Disconnected.
• we punted on this for now.
