New events should consider how they fit in with extensible events. For example, #3765 turns room topics into extensible events

Should it become m.banner instead of m.room.banner?

| This proposal adds room banners to Matrix, similar to the way Discord has guild banners. | |||

I wonder how this would render in a Matrix client today. Discord has banners for it's guilds but they only really show up on invite to the guild and in the top right of the client when viewing the guild. They're not really tied to individual channels.
For Matrix rooms, where would this go? Obviously I don't expect the spec to start designing the client but I fear there isn't enough information about how this should be presented to the user.
Would this be displayed on invite? (in which case there needs to be recommendations for m.room.banner to appear in stripped state (https://spec.matrix.org/latest/client-server-api/#stripped-state).

I would think that banners should be above room info.

| A malicious user could upload a banner with explicit or illegal content. A future MSC may provide a way to mark room pictures or banners as sensitive using [MSC4193](http://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals/pull/4193). |

Some concerns about having reasonable fallbacks here. Not every client would be able to display a banner (and I'm not sure every user is going to want to be confronted with a banner in their client), so I think there should be some way to fallback to textual representation of the banner.
I don't know how common it is for banners to contain actual information, usually they seem to be more decorative?

By "sensitive content", I mean things that would commonly have a content warning on platforms like the Fediverse such as food, lewd stuff, politics, etc.

Sorry, I commented a line below where I meant to :). This was a separate concern.

sorry for offtopic, but why food is sensitive content?

@officialdakari Propably because Eating Disorder. It shouldn't be required, but some people on Fediverse go overboard with it. /offtopic
