A key question here is how rooms get added to the contact list. Getting the user to manually add them isn't a great solution, since it's labour intensive and potentially lacks discoverability. On the other hand, adding all rooms to the list risks swamping it with chat rooms, so that it is hard to see actual contacts. Is this something that has been thought about? The general aim of this feature seems to be to minimise the scalability limitations of tabs, as encountered by heavy muc users. If that is the case, there might be other (potentially more radical) approaches that could solve the problem more effectively. A conversation view might be one such possibility.
