The value of the `type` property uses the Standardised Identifier Grammar from
[MSC2758](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/pull/2758). This allows clients to offer slightly customised user experience
depending on the purpose of the room. Currently, no server-side behaviour is
expected to depend on this property.
expected to depend on this property. A `type` property on the `m.room.create`
event is used to ensure that a room cannot change between being a space-room
and a non-space room. For more information, see the "Rejected Alternatives"
section below.
As with regular rooms, public spaces are expected to have an alias, for example
`#foo:matrix.org`, which can be used to refer to the space.

`#foo-private:matrix.org` is set up with `m.room.history_visibility` to not to
allow peeking; you have to be joined to see the members.
It's worth noting that any member of a space can currently see who else is a
member of that space, which might pose privacy problems for sensitive spaces.
While the server itself will inevitably track the space membership in state
events, a future MSC could restrict the membership from being sent to clients.
This is essentially the same as
