Now that I look at it again, the JEP is probably not as clear as it 
could be about room creation. The intent is that if you don't include 
the muc extension in the initial presence, the service will create the 
room for you and not wait for the config (i.e., backwards-compatible 
with old-style groupchat), but that if you do include the muc extension 
   then the service requires you to go through the configuration steps. 
But I see that's not 100% (or even 50%?) clear in the spec, so I'll 
clarify that in the next version.
