Description

Semi-Anonymous Room - A room in which an occupant's full ID can be discovered by room admins only. In such room occupant may choose an ID which does not expose his "usual"/full ID by which he is identified outside the context of a room.
_(An adaptation of XEP-045::SARs)_

Allows for more privacy / identity management.
