Yes; otherwise, the only way to know how the spec author intends it to work is
to look at Gabble.

I'm inclined to say we should limit the scope of Addressing to be addressing
contacts: we could add a new property to Chan.I.Room (Bug #23151) if we want to
be able to address rooms by URI.

Implementation status:

* Gabble: Bug #30296 (a simple case: xmpp: and vCard X-JABBER)
* tpsip: Bug #31469 (a complex case: tel:, sip:, sips:, and vCard TEL and
X-SIP)
* butterfly: no bug yet
