Maybe my view on this diverges from everyone else's, but I don't think PEP is/should be restricted to IM. It is a totally artificial restriction you are putting on your self that makes things more complicated. Why wouldn't (to keep the example) one microblogger be connected to one JID and his microblog stored in a PEP node on that?
