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.
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.
How do I know as a MUC administrator that all identities are
authenticated properly? Participants may come from several jabber
domains, over which I have no administrative insight.
