Well, no, not just bots. In a typical chat client, you have a list
of
users in the channel and would like to click on them, then activate
"kick" from some list/some button/etc and don't have to fill out
some
form for that.
Isn't this an UI issue?
That's the way I was thinking about it. I assumed that if there was a
jid-multi field, it could be populated with the currently-selected
participants. Kick often pulls up a dialog today, to ask for the
reason.
The UI could decide whether to even show the jid-multi field; if
not, the
resulting dialog would end up looking pretty similar to the existing
one.
Still, as long as there's no semantic meaning attached to the form,
the client can only take a wild guess at the meaning of that field.
For example, it could be an invite action, where putting in somebody
already on the MUC would be totally pointless.
Esp. when you hide that field, then you can only invite people that
are already in the chat...
This reminds me of certain web browsers that automatically fill in the
user's address when they see a text field prefixed by "Address:", even
though it might mean something like IP-address.
