I'd encourage you to drop the "hub." prefix - one of the really good things about PSHB is that it's not push-only. The premise is that there's always a feed to which you can subscribe or fetch to get a "current state" of all [recent] items in a feed. This simplifies *many* problems that face pure [push] messaging protocols. Since PSHB is really just publishing notifications about a feed, the parameters associated with the feed are not PSHB-specific, but rather feed-specific. b.
