Who said it was supposed to make sense? ;-)

It's in the draft proto if you read between the lines (a lot) - there's
an example of joining an already-existing (could be pre-defined) room, and
add that '2' to the other '2' from the old protocol (just send presence to
a room to create it) and you get '5' :-)
  
I'm glad it worked, anyway.

But as mass says, it's still in flux.
