Comment(by deryni):

 When, other than in this horrible hack of named chat room 'support', is
 the P4-Context used? Does it mean the same thing there? How does the
 official client handle it in those cases?

 If you set the P4-Context on a normal message does the official client
 show your message as coming from a different sender each time? "P4-name1:
 Testing", "P4-name2: Test 2", etc. as opposed to "FriendlyName1: Testing",
 "FriendlyName1: Test 2"? (I'm assuming the answer to this is yes as this
 is probably all that is happening for this group chat hack.)

 Does the official client ever send a P4-Context header?

 Assuming the P4-Context header is really just a per-message display
 nickname then the "right" way to handle this is likely going to require
 some core libpurple changes. The only other option is what one of the
 first patches in this ticket did which is just to prefix each message with
 the P4-Context header contents, something which I think is probably about
 as far as I think we really need to go here and at very least would seem
 to me to make these "chat rooms" at least functional in pidgin as opposed
 to know where presumably they aren't at all usable.
