Right. The current draft has this:

   Another option would be to use a nicknaming service, that allows
   allocating nickname URIs to users.  Using such a URI in a conference
   in effect anonymizes the user, but still allows the user to be
   reached outside the chat room using the same identity.  However,
   defining such nicknaming service machinery is out of the scope of
   this specification.
...
   In other words, a nickname is simply a username that is scoped for a
   particular chat room.  Such nicknames are allocated on a first-come
   first-served policy, meaning they can also be "stolen".  It is out of
   the scope of this specification to define nickname retention schemes,
   or nickaming services as discussed above.

Is that sufficient?

Cheers,
Aki
