But then what is an invitation for? You have to make someone a
member and send him an invitation message. But for this, you have
to be able to add members.

I don't think the concept of an invitation-only room makes much
sense, especially because we don't have ways of delivering secure
invitations (right now invitations are more social interactions,
not technical interactions, and I think we might want to leave it
that way).

But i thought I've seen some members-only rooms.

Oh sure, one example is [EMAIL PROTECTED] :)

But that means we have some sort of room authorization :). And we
should know what happens if you invite someone to a room that's
members-only and he's not a member.

Because just sending a direct invite is no good. Making him a member
and sending a direct invite seems natural to me.

I've added an implementation note about that.
