<p>
A MIX channel does not send messages and presence directly to an XMPP MIX client of a channel participant, but addresses them to participant using the participant's bare JID. The participant's server MUST then handle these messages and pass them on to zero, one or multiple clients. To enable MIX to work, this behaviour is necessary and so the server of every MIX client MUST follow the rules set out in this specification.

The primary representation of a participant in a MIX channel is a proxy JID, which is an anonymized JID using the same domain as the channel and with the name of the channel encoded, using the format "&lt;channel&gt;+&lt;generated identifier&gt;@&lt;mix domain&gt;". They generated identifier MUST NOT contain the '+' characters. The Channel name MAY contain the '+' character. For example in the channel 'coven@mix.shakespeare.example', the user 'hag66@shakespeare.example' might have a proxy JID of 'coven+123456@mix.shakespeare.example'. The reason for the proxy JID is to support JID Hidden channels. Proxy JIDs are also used in JID Visible channels, for consistency and to enable switching of JID visibility. The "urn:xmpp:mix:nodes:jidmap" node maps from proxy JID to real JID. While a user is a participant in a Channel, the mapping between real JID and proxy JID MUST NOT be changed.
For JID Visible and JID Hidden channels the default user visibility preference is No JID Visibility Preference. For JID Maybe Visible channels, the default user visibility preference is Prefer Hidden, so that JIDs will only be visible when users explicitly permit this.

The primary representation of a participant in a MIX channel is a proxy JID, which is an anonymized JID using the same domain as the channel and with the name of the channel encoded, using the format "&lt;generated identifier&gt;#&lt;channel&gt;@&lt;mix domain&gt;". The generated identifier MUST NOT contain the '#', '/' or '@' characters. The Channel name MAY contain the '#' character. For example in the channel 'coven@mix.shakespeare.example', the user 'hag66@shakespeare.example' might have a proxy JID of '123456#coven@mix.shakespeare.example'. The reason for the proxy JID is to support JID Hidden channels. Proxy JIDs are also used in JID Visible channels, for consistency and to enable switching of JID visibility. The "urn:xmpp:mix:nodes:jidmap" node maps from proxy JID to real JID. Servers and clients MUST determine that a JID is a proxy JID from context and MUST NOT infer that a JID is a proxy JID because it contains the '#' character.
</p>
<p>
The mapping of real bare JID to proxy JID is defined when a participant joins a channel. While a user is a participant in a Channel, the mapping between real JID and proxy JID MUST NOT be changed. This mapping must be maintained after the user leaves the channel. Proxy JID values MUST NOT be re-used. If a JID that left a channel joins the channel again the same proxy JID MAY be used again or a different new proxy JID MAY be assigned.
</p>
<p>
The example real full JIDs in this specification are aligned the anticipated new format that splits the resource into two parts. The first part is UUID that is a stable and fixed value for the client and is anticipated to be a fixed format which may well be UUID 4. The second part is server assigned and will vary with each session. A realistic JID with resource is: 'hag66@shakespeare.example/d104f6a7-97e9-477f-8947-e4a37691d7ee/7533375f2cd'. This specification uses examples of the style: 'hag66@shakespeare.example/UUID-a1j/7533' which are aligned to real resources, but more compact. CITATION TO BE ADDED. If the final specification differs from this, the examples will be updated.
</p>
<p>
The full JIDs held in the presence nodes are anonymized using a similar mechanism. First the bare JID is mapped to a bare proxy JID, using the mapping held in the "urn:xmpp:mix:nodes:jidmap" node for the bare JID. Then the resource is replaced with a generated value. For example, 'hag66@shakespeare.example/UUID-a1j/7533' in the channel coven might have a proxy JID of 'coven+123456@mix.shakespeare.example/789'. There is no client visible mapping of proxy full JIDs maintained as this is not needed. The MIX channel will need to maintain a mapping, to support directly addressing clients, such as for client to client disco#info queries. While an anonymized JID is held in the presence node, the mapping to real JID MUST NOT be changed. When an anonoymized full JID is added to the presence node, mapping to a real full JID that was previously in the presence node, the same anonymized JID as the previous time MAY be used or a different anonymized JID MAY be used.

This means that the value in the form can be directly mapped with the form returned by configuration administration commands. Configuration nodes will typically have a large number of elements.

Presence information will provide a MIX client with the nicks and anonymized proxy JIDs for participants. For JID visible rooms, the user MAY look up the real JID using the "urn:xmpp:mix:nodes:jidmap" node. The items in this node are identified by proxy JID, and so the real JID can be retrieved using a straightforward PubSub query. While a user MAY subscribe to the jidmap node, it is more likely to be used to directly look up JIDs as and when needed.
Presence information will provide a MIX client with the nicks and proxy JIDs for participants in a channel. Messages sent to a channel and retrieved from MAM archives will show the proxy JID and nick of the sender. It is sometimes useful to determine the real JID associated with proxy JID. This can always be done for JID Visible channels and can sometimes be done for JID Maybe Visible channels.

<p>For JID Maybe Visible rooms the lookup is performed on the JID Maybe Visible Map node. Note that where a user prefers to not share real JID, the result of this lookup of proxy JID will be the (same) proxy JID. </p>
<p>
When an older message is considered, it is possible that the proxy JID of the sender is not current. Such a JID can be looked up in the MAM Archive of the JID Map Node. This is shown in the following example:
