Particularly, you're going to invite someone with a different
catalogue, and then upload past history to the room. Any thoughts?
Well, that's interesting.
Consider that you and a work colleague are discussing something, and
you're switching labels between "INTERNAL ONLY" and "COMMERCIAL IN
CONFIDENCE", and you'd like to bring in someone from a partner
organization to the discussion.
The server will filter out all the "INTERNAL ONLY" stuff because the
partner's clearance is only allowing him to see "COMMERCIAL IN
CONFIDENCE", "PUBLIC RELEASABLE", and "PUBLIC DOMAIN" - so this
problem is quite easy to deal with.
The problem is that if your client picks a MUC service, or creates a
MUC room, which is labelled "INTERNAL ONLY", then your commercial
partner won't see the room, and won't be able to join it.
Moreover, I don't think your client could - with the facilities in
XEP-0258 - make the 1:1 -> MUC transition without human intervention,
and, more probably, human knowledge about clearances.
Kurt?
