Hi Jehan, All of your points (in these Pubsub emails) sounded quite reasonable to me, but I'm just a fringe subscriber... I've been waiting on a number of Pubsub items too, but Peter said that he was collecting the Pubsub errata from me and would reply later, so maybe that's going on with your questions on Pubsub...

Publisher publishes an item with an ItemID Hi, wasn't the 3 points I raised in my 2 emails about pubsub not consistent enough? I had no answer on any of these... :-/ Moreover the two points in my second email may be discussed, but it looks to me that the first email is obviously a small bug in the XEP because the title and the example does not correspond. No?
