I'm leaning toward crossing that bridge when we come to it. My reason for bringing invite-only rooms was not to suggest they should be done, just that this protocol takes away the possibility to implement them (and it happens to be something I was thinking about a couple of weeks ago). We don't have invite-only rooms, but IRC doesn't have members-only rooms. I can't think of many cases an invite-only room would be called for, unless it is an admin doing the inviting, in which case it is easy to add invitees to the member list. That, or just use a password, as exampled in this XEP. Matthew.
