I wouldn't mind helping out with this.
Summarizing the list and off-list discussion, the changes which need to be
made are:
1. Inclusion of incoming presence subscriptions.
<presence xmlns='jabber:client' type='subscribe' from='n...@host'>
...
</presence>
2. Inclusion of persistent PEP nodes.
<pubsub xmlns='http://jabber.org/protocol/pubsub'>
<publish node='storage:bookmarks'>
...
</publish>
<publish-options>
...
</publish-options>
</pubsub>
3. Privacy lists.
<query xmlns='jabber:iq:privacy'>
...
</query>
4. The problem of XIncludes in user data.
One solution would be to forbid processing of XIncludes which are more than
three levels deep in the document. Text about this needs to be added to the
XIncludes section, and the Security Considerations section.
