Why not? MAM’s just a mechanism for querying archives for messages, surely it
shouldn’t matter where the archive is?
As concrete examples of when it might make sense to query non-MUC, non-private
archives:
* An appropriately privileged user querying the archives of other organisation
members (e.g. HR in case of harassment cases)
* A system that presents a single outgoing JID that is controlled by several
users (e.g. shift workers handling a support address)
While it might not be a standard personal IM-client feature, I don’t think that
means it’s not valid, or that we need to disallow it.
