Is the omission of /sync deliberate here? Are you trying to draw a distinction between the room-scoped tokens and the globally-scoped next_batch from /sync? It could maybe do with a little clarification.

next_batch isn't room scoped, right? So it isn't indistinguishable. Although it should include: "prev_batch response field of /sync", I think.

I ended up combining this paragraph and the one after it since they seem repetitive. Hopefully that's clear.
