Why not integrate them into the CL with the other contact types?

Groups
	Contacts
	Metacontacts
		Contacts
	Group-chat bookmarks

You could have a bookmark icon (like the Safari one) distinguishing  
bookmarked group chats.

This seems like it's the next logical step from a single group to  
which group-chat bookmarks are consigned. Why should the user only be  
able to put them in that group?

An easy way to think of this is to think of a regular contact or  
metacontact as a one-to-one-chat bookmark (already backed up by the  
Add Contact menu item's shortcut being ⌘D, the same as Safari's Add  
Bookmark); a group-chat bookmark would just be a new kind of bookmark.

The different font kinda spoils that one. It wouldn't be so bad if it  
were the same font as the other groups (at least by default), but as  
I said, I'm not seeing why that should be the only group allowed to  
have group-chat bookmarks.
