I'm still thinking about this. I guess relay-based  communities are the new circles.

Do I even need a list event, for this? I can just use the whitelist on the relay, but then the list isn't publicized and I wouldn't be able to auto-update the relay list, just by adding someone to the client list. I'm using the client list as a controller, basically, but it's a redundant list.

Can the relay publish the whitelist, upon request? Could there be direct manipulation of the relay list from a client?
