While completing my edits on XEP-0045, I noticed again the feature for
requesting a unique room name. This feature seems unnecessary because
the client can simply generate a unique room name on its own (e.g., by
using a UUID). Shall we remove it?
I wasn't convinced there was a compelling reason last time, and I'm
still not (I note again that server generated names can achieve more
than just uniqueness), to remove this completely (It's an
already-deployed feature of a Draft standard),
Is it actually in use?
ISTR from the discussions previously that Gajim, at least, has deployed it.
Lot of good that does them, if no servers support it. :)
In any case, I'm comfortable moving this to a separate spec.
That feature doesn't make much sense because the service can't guarantee
that the returned (unique) ID is still unique when the client starts
using it. If the service want's to guarantee that, the ID has to be
reserved (maybe for a limited time). So I would suggest too to remove
the feature.
