Research direction

Start by locating the appservice user-namespace and /joined_members sections in the Matrix specification. Read how exclusive and inclusive namespaces are currently described, then clarify the conditions for exposing room details, including the example in the issue. Done means the specification explicitly explains which namespace and room-membership combinations permit the query.
