Description
#70 mentions:
> 3D avatar / thumbnail should be saved in `m.world.profile` room state event
So we can assume it's planned to be state events for now as a primary data point in `profile` type rooms. My only issue with this is **interoperability**:
- one needs to do extra steps to download their backed up model/sprite, as well as to see related thumbnail, from any other client;
- `profile` room will just look empty or have events of which only Third Room client can make sense.
I propose such binary data to be sent as **attachment** instead of room state event.
