Rooms actually had two of these features, Baggage and Pockets.
Baggage was a place where you could put windows to move them between
spaces.  Using the Dock for this works well with Apple's WS design --
just put them "in baggage" by minimizing them, then "unpack" them from
the Dock by opening them again, possibly in a different Space.  Very
handy.

Pockets was different (and, to my way of thinking, misnamed); if you
put a window in your Pocket, it would travel with you from Room to
Room, and appear, open, in each of them.  I think Spaces would have to
be extended in some way to support this.  Though it *was* very heavily
used by Rooms users -- but mainly for things supported in the Apple UI
already by menubar widgets or Dashboard widgets.
