Looks fine to me, looking forward for Zenek's comments!

  Seems nice. We should specify the hash algorithm in the cid
  somehow though. I don't know what the common practice for that
  would be.
  We might do something like this:
 
  1. [EMAIL PROTECTED]
  2. [EMAIL PROTECTED]
 
  I don't have a strong preference. I might have a slight preference
  for #1, because it's possible that we might even host image bundles
  at those domains via HTTP (so if your client supports SHA1 it can
  go to the URL http://sha1.bob.xmpp.org/ and retrieve the public
  images hosted there). Possibly. :)
  
  I prefer #2. We could possibly host on bob.xmpp.cz anyway.
 
 Sure/ If we ever host these images, bob.xmpp.org could round-robin to 
 other domains, or just redirect.
 
  And since we use hash now, we don't need to cache per JID. 
  Nifty.
  
  But we may if we don't want to check the hash or don't believe the
  hash functions (future consideration). Depends on the implementation
  and configuration.
 
 Correct.

Ok, just... couldn't this be at least partially automated (not to
have the sure check himself)? If it's not possible, never mind.

  I don't think the concept of an invitation-only room makes much
  sense, especially because we don't have ways of delivering secure
  invitations (right now invitations are more social interactions,
  not technical interactions, and I think we might want to leave it
  that way).
  But i thought I've seen some members-only rooms.
  Oh sure, one example is [EMAIL PROTECTED] :)
 
  /psa
  
  But that means we have some sort of room authorization :). And we
  should know what happens if you invite someone to a room that's
  members-only and he's not a member.
  
  Because just sending a direct invite is no good. Making him a member
  and sending a direct invite seems natural to me.
 
 I've added an implementation note about that.

Sure it could. I'm not sure if we really need that, given that 
members-only rooms are relatively uncommon, but we could presumably 
define a data form or ad-hoc command for the automated flow if we really 
need to.

I'm leaning toward crossing that bridge when we come to it. My reason
for bringing invite-only rooms was not to suggest they should be done,
just that this protocol takes away the possibility to implement them
(and it happens to be something I was thinking about a couple of weeks
ago). We don't have invite-only rooms, but IRC doesn't have
members-only rooms.

I can't think of many cases an invite-only room would be called for,
unless it is an admin doing the inviting, in which case it is easy to
add invitees to the member list. That, or just use a password, as
exampled in this XEP.

Matthew.

Agreed. Members-only rooms seem much more natural than invite-only 
rooms, especially because we have authenticated identities. IRC doesn't 
have authentication, so they might need some kind of cryptographic 
invitations, but AFAICS that's overkill for XMPP.
