This is a sketch of UX and protocol considerations for a client which wishes to help users use gateways.
In every place where the UI would ask for a Jabber ID (most notably contact add, but possibly also invite to chatroom, create chatroom from 1:1 conversation, start voice/video call to non-contact, search view where a Jabber ID can be used, etc) it should scan the user's roster for JIDs which have `disco#info > identity[category=gateway]` and show some way of choosing to enter an identifier for that gateway instead of a Jabber ID. The simplest example might be a drop-down with `disco#info > identity[type]` and optional disambiguating `disco#info > idenity[name]` such as "sms (Cheogram)".
If a user has unambiguously selected a gateway, use https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0100.html#addressing-iqgateway to get a prompt:
<iq type='get' to='gateway.tld' id='gate1'>
<query xmlns='jabber:iq:gateway'/>
</iq>
<iq type='result' from='gateway.tld' id='gate1'>
<query xmlns='jabber:iq:gateway'>
<desc>
Please enter the Whatever of the
person you would like to contact.
</desc>
<prompt>Whatever</prompt>
</query>
</iq>This text may then be used as part of the UX as makes sense to help the user feel comfortable. Getting a success here and not an error also means that `jabber:iq:gateway` can be used in the next step.
NOTE: it is also acceptable (and in some UX may be preferred or even necessary) to pre-emptively ask all gateways for the prompt, instead of only once one is selected.
If an identifier is (or might be, depending on UX) one for a particular gateway, use the following procedure to map it to a Jabber ID and then perform the in-context relevant action on that Jabber ID as though it had been entered directly:

</query>
</iq>
<iq type='result' from='gateway.tld' id='gate2'>
