I've always maintained that sidebars are not separate contexts.
They are mixer state in a conference.
So is a whisper.
If, for convenience, you want to have a separate URI for a sidebar,
be my guest, but all the code will treat a sidebar as mixer
settings within a single context.
Whispers are the same. The only difference is the mixer state.
