In general I think that xmpp: URIs will be found on web pages. So for
instance you might find links like this:

<a href='xmpp:jdev at conference.jabber.org?join'>jdev chatroom</a>

It would be good for the browser to pass that URI along to Psi and for
Psi to do the right thing (in this case, prompt the user to join the
chatroom).

I don't think that IM users will send these URIs very often. We have
better ways to handle such use cases natively over Jabber (chatroom
invitations, roster item exchanges, and the like).
