I like the third alternate and really like the idea of having a check list of the types of people in a space, though I don't think it necessarily is determined by what the people are doing, but also why they are choosing to cowork. For example, my (very new, almost-open) space is seeming to attract a lot of parents looking for flexible office space. When we all get together, whether they be a nurse with a health consulting company, an aerospace engineer, or web host, they all have a common ground for talking as they understand the difficulties of working around the little people's schedules. It seems to be one of the things that gets talked about the most and it lends itself to creating a supportive environment!
