[Standards] Proposed XMPP Extension: MUC Auto-Join

Lord knows I'm in the pro-caps camp, Peter, but I think caps is  
insufficient here.  If the conference room is offline when I come on  
(i.e., the conference server is down), I don't get caps.  Thus, I  
don't get the context data I need to know that this item is an  
offline conference room, rather than an offline contact.

Sure, I'll get the data (in theory) when the thing comes online, but  
having category='conference' in the roster item for it gives me  
enough to work with /even when it's offline/, such as displaying it  
in a menu of 'favorite chatrooms' but greying it out because the  
presence shows that server is currently offline.
