Parts of XEP-0060 aren't implementable via the component protocol unless you also implement the roster protocol, but I have written a functional and useful PubSub implementation that interfaces via the component protocol. Moreover, those who've met me know I'm prone to saying that much of the PubSub protocol is confusing and not necessarily useful in practice, so having roster-based permissions is far from necessary for most things, especially web-based apps of the sort we're discussing. b.
