When designing the AS API (somewhere in the guts of matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals#5 or an associated etherpad) Kegan and I discussed the idea of homeservers being able to advertise the capabilities of the ASes they have configured - especially if those ASes can act as a gateway to another network. This in turn could be useful for clients to be able to 'do the right thing' automatically if asked to join a foreign URI, assuming they know what servers are available.

This might involve advertising capabilities via well-known URIs (matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals#433), tracking how URI->MXIDs are converted (matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals#436), or the stuff which is meant to advertise what URIs a given room is bridged to (https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/issues/439).
