A similar solution to this problem was discussed a while ago, namely the additon of some sort of "outsider" role. This would allow for example, bots to post notifications to MUC rooms without needing to log in. Either works really, I suppose, and probably your suggestion is the easier to implement. Of course it also misses the option to not receive messages, which may/may not be wanted. I can imagine there would be opposition to the possibility of "invisible" participants in MUC rooms :) Matthew.
