- Is Example 7 allowed in XMPP/pubsub? It looks like the component is

that, I just haven't seen it before.
I was wondering the same thing when i wrote the draft. It is probably not the
intended use of pubsub, but it does save a round trip of the location results.
In buddycloud we have configured our location component such that our server
(ejabberd) allows it to post on behalf of users (@Simon: correct me if I'm
wrong or unclear on this)
It is possible to allow delegated Pubsub publication by a third-party
JID by using the 'pubsub#publisher' attribute value when creating a node :
<iq type='set'to='pubsub.shakespeare.lit'>
<pubsub xmlns='http://jabber.org/protocol/pubsub'>
<create node='princely_musings'/>
<configure>
<x xmlns='jabber:x:data' type='submit'>
<field var='FORM_TYPE' type='hidden'>
<value>http://jabber.org/protocol/pubsub#node_config</value>
</field>
<field var='pubsub#access_model'><value>whitelist</value></field>
<field var='pubsub#publisher'
type='jid-multi'
label='The JIDs of those with an affiliation of publisher'>
<value>geo.jabber.org</value>
</field>
</x>
</configure>
</pubsub>
</iq>
and/or (I don't remember exactly) by settings the affiliations for a node :
<iq type='set'to='pubsub.shakespeare.lit'>
<pubsub xmlns='http://jabber.org/protocol/pubsub#owner'>
<affiliations node='princely_musings'>
<affiliation jid='geo.jabber.org' affiliation='publisher'/>
</affiliations>
</pubsub>
</iq>
But apparently, delegated publication isn't allowed with PEP. At least,
this is what I've been told by an Ejabberd developer who pointed
XEP-0163 <http://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0163.html#approach-publisher>
which states in section 2.2 :
"There is no need for multiple publishers to a PEP service, since by
definition the service generates information associated with only one
entity. The owner-publisher for every node is the bare JID of the
account owner."
However, Openfire allows delegated PEP publication.
Could some Pubsub/PEP experts clarify on this point, please ?
