I'm in favour of splitting collections, but not so much of
splitting
out presence - we spent quite a long time deciding that 163
should
only be a profile of 60, from what I recall.
As a suggestion - and I'm only highlighting options - we could
split out the fancier things into one or more new specifications,
leaving XEP-0060 as a core, with extra XEPs holding additional
features, and XEP-0163 binds XEP-0060 and a selection of brightly
coloured coat hangers into the profile that is PEP.
I'm not sure if this is a good idea, mind - it's not clear to me
if this gives a net benefit or not - but it would keep XEP-0163's
"profile" status.
I was thinking the same thing, indeed.
Right. So not all pubsub-related features would be defined in
XEP-0060, because certain "profiles" (the only example we have so
far is PEP) would define new node configuration options and the
like. The result would be that XEP-0060 defines the core (is that
just "pub" and "sub"?) whilst other specs define things like
collections, presence integration, filtered notifications,
subscription options, management of subscription requests by the
node owner and other such administrative tasks, etc. So we'd have a
stripped-down XEP-0060 and a bunch of extensions to the pubsub core.
But, in this scenario - and I reiterate, I'm not sold on it yet
myself - XEP-0163 would remain just a profile, gathering together a
set of mandatory options and default behaviours, rather than defining
anything new itself.
Another profile would probably appear which described a different set
for "traditional pubsub".
