This clustering is already possible by setting up a dedicated MUC Service to group several rooms, but in practice, this is only doable by server administrators.

This isn't true though? I mean, as we've discussed I'm not aware of any currently *implementation* that allows it for non-admins, but that's a deficiency in the implementation, not the spec.

Discovering the children of a space uses a <tt>disco#items</tt> query directed a the node.

The example then goes on to show using pubsub-get-items not disco#items

I am *very* concerned about moving from a protocol most clients support and have UI for (disco#items) to a protocol almost no clients supports and none will have UI for the datatype described here (pusbus-get-items on new format). This, to me, represents a large step backwards.

I *do* appreciate that you're having sane spec hygiene and reusing namespaces instead of reinventing stuff here for syntax. But I think we get a lot further a lot quicker by using the mechanisms we've always had for hierarchical collections instead of making a new one.
