So there are two types listed.  text and irc.  Are these meant to be strict 
type choices, or suggestions?  Is it theoretically bad to use something other 
than those two choices?

Regardless of that question ... I was thinking a type="gateway" might be a good 
idea.  Gateway MUC services are typically different in use and concept because 
they are tied to your actual gateway account.  If you try to use the MUC 
service of a gateway service and are not affiliated with the gateway/logged 
into the legacy service, you are unable to make use of the MUC service.  It 
might be nice to have a good way of distinguishing this to the client.  IE a 
client could handle those services differently.

I guess the client -could- look for a combination of a feature of 
jabber:iq:gateway and the feature named with the muc uri instead, but I kind of 
like the idea of categorizing it differently.  I'd like to hear opinions on 
this front though.

I'm not 100% sure why text and irc are different though.  Just 'cause?  Nice 
and easily identifiable?  (which kind of lends to my thought on wanting a 
gateway one)
