http://telepathy.freedesktop.org/spec/Channel.html#org.freedesktop.Telepathy.Channel.TargetHandle

"""
This is fixed for the lifetime of the channel, so channels which could potentially be used to communicate with multiple contacts (such as streamed media calls defined by their members, or ad-hoc chatrooms like MSN switchboards) must have TargetHandleType set to Handle_Type_None and TargetHandle set to 0.
"""

We should clarify this to say that Conference should be used to supercede channels that get transformed into multi-user-chats.

The preamble of Chan.Type.Text should possibly also be clarified.

Fixed by fa643a36 and 9635b70d on my messages branch, see Bug #26838.
