Oh wow, this has completely slipped passed my radar. I traced this change back to XEP-0060 v1.13rc17 with the comment 'addressed Council feedback from Matthew Wild and Kevin Smith'. See: http://gitorious.org/xmpp/xmpp/commit/c759e582654b490fa5007e2bf929b8b78566b677/diffs Although we did discuss adding the publish-only affiliation, I am pretty sure this particular change was not discussed at the council meeting of 12 April 2010 (http://logs.xmpp.org/council/100412/) or the council list (http://mail.jabber.org/pipermail/council/2010-April/thread.html). I agree that if this was indeed wanted, we need would need to do more in the specification than this one small dependent clause. However, I assume this change was made in error and move to have it reverted. Peter, can you include this in your upcoming edits? Of course an entity with the publisher affiliation is always allowed to subscribe (unlike the publish-only affiliation), if it so desires. -- ralphm
