XEP-0045 mappings a.k.a. legacy mode Some client-side developers might choose to use existing XEP-0045 Multi-User Chat implementations to interface with the new MUC Light. There may be various reasons to do so: using a familiar protocol, avoiding additional implementation, quick prototyping etc. This section provides suggestions of mappings between XEP-0045 stanzas and the new ones described in this document. +They are ONLY available to use in the legacy mode, which allows using a subset of classic MUC stanzas but comes with the drawback that some of the functions are limited.
