While attributes are being added to <item/>, would there also be some way to add meta-data about the node to the event as well, e.g., pubsub#num_subscribers (the number of subscribers to the node) or pubsub#title (human-readable node name)? I know it can be retrieved separately, but this seems it could be useful to be able to get back together...
No. If you want that kind of information you should put it in your item payload or, as you mention, retrieve it separately where it can be subjected to additional access restrictions. Do you really want all your subscribers to know how many subscriptions are on a node? And why on earth should an item push node meta-data? What would happen if you subscribe to a collection?
