Agreed, I think. My argument is that this doesn't matter, at least at this point. I'm a big fan of use-case-driven development, and at the moment I'm not aware of a single example of, for example, two RSS / Atom feeds linking to each-other [as metadata]. Linkages between PubSub Items is trivial and well understood, but I'm not even sure what linkages between PubSub nodes would *mean*. Web APIs work fine at the moment, and discovery is driven by documentation, not high engineering solutions. b.
