First draft.

For a client, knowing the human-readable name of a Multi-User Chat (XEP-0045) XEP-0045: Multi-User Chat <https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0045.html>. room requires querying its disco#info. While this is fine for user dialogs about joining a single room, it requires a lot of round-trips in case a client wants to list all PEP Native Bookmarks (XEP-0402) XEP-0402: PEP Native Bookmarks <https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0402.html>. items, in a "open room" dialog, when it does not have any cached info about the rooms.

This specification proposes a bookmark extension that avoid such round trips. It is written by entities that know the human-readable name of a room, and is meant to be used by clients that have not yet disco#info-queried that room

This specification intentionally does not use the PEP Native Bookmarks (XEP-0402) XEP-0402: PEP Native Bookmarks <https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0402.html>. name attribute. This attribute is meant for a user-specified custom name for a given room, and does not serve the same purpose. Setting this attibute to the disco#info name of a room is not a viable solution, as this means entities setting it are expected to update it when the room configuration changes.

A user join a room from their desktop client which is configured to not set the autojoin flag to true on bookmarks. Then they want to join from their mobile client too, searching for the room in their bookmarks, via their friendly name.
A gateway writes bookmark items via Privileged Entity (XEP-0356) XEP-0356: Privileged Entity <https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0356.html>. and wants to communicate their human-readable name to clients without them needing to query the disco#info of the rooms.

The protocol is a simple last-known-name element defined as a bookmark extension.
