Hi,

Im a bit confused about begin/end

The XEP says

> If a mention element of type urn:xmpp:mentions:0 or its subtypes contains 
> both begin and end attributes, the receiving entity MAY use this as a hint

I dont think this is necessary, as its usual that the content that follows the 
mention is addressed to the mentioned user.

What was missing was that we can special format the nickname or the @admin @all 
etc in the GUI when we receive a message, without hardcoding some regex or 
scanning for nicknames.

Regards
Philipp
