Description
This issue is like matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals#1344, but for Matrix rooms. Rooms could also have key-value pair attributes such as nsfw: (true | false), languages: English, German. Rooms could also have geotag. If user attributes would be implemented and users have geotags the room geotag could be updated based on where majority of the people in the room are located.
Matrix clients could also propose rooms for you based on the attributes you define in your profile. For example "Rooms within 30km distance from you that you might be interested". If you have defined languages: English, interests: cycling, it could suggest you room "Cycling club for English speaking people".

Research direction
Start by reviewing the linked matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals#1344 and the Matrix room specification. Determine whether room attributes, geotags, and attribute-based room suggestions belong in the protocol scope; done would require a decided, documented specification rather than an implementation file or test, none of which the issue names.
