I have pretty different use between clients.
That's fine. To be honest, I'm the same. I have a couple of low-traffic rooms that I join on my mobile, and yet I am in dozens of rooms on my desktop client. I'd guess many people, especially "power users" are not very different. It doesn't change my opinion about the protocol though. The whole purpose of bookmarks is for sharing between clients. If you join a room on one client and it's only for that client, then it shouldn't be set to 'autojoin' in a data store that is shared across all your devices. We're discussing the protocol, but there is nothing stopping clients having their own overrides (i.e. local autojoin rooms). This could be as simple as, when you join a room for the first time "Do you want to join this room on all devices?" -> if the user answers positively, then a bookmark with 'autojoin' is set. If not, a bookmark may still be set, but the autojoin flag is only remembered locally. And while we're here, I think "autojoin" is a silly concept. A client should just remember what rooms it has open, and keep them open. If I close my client and re-open it (or it crashed, or my computer crashed, etc.), I'd expect to still be in the same rooms, unless I explicitly asked it to leave them. > If my connection dropped and came back a moment later, I would want my > client to rejoin MUCs I was in. I use bookmarks mostly as a way to > remember MUC JIDs, not to know which state my clients should be in. That's fine, and I see that as a completely valid use of the protocol. Just don't set autojoin on any of your bookmarks, and use clients that remember which rooms they are joined to.
