It's hard to remember XEP-303 for me now, but I remember that it was VERY complex so I didn't want to work with it anyway.
The second thing is that it's really not hard to create a new XEP for commenting based on the current XEP-277, but there are many many problems with Pubsub itself which are needed to be solved first. I am trying to work with things as is but it's really hard to do smth good with them. At the other hand, I really have no idea how to win XSF bureaucracy and move things forward. I was constantly raising issues that was important in real life open pubsub protocols which also were supported with other people who interested in the pubsub blogging but I had no ANY feedback and any advice on how to move things forward. So I really suppressed with this and I don't know if there any profit to contribute into these conversations, who will do actual changes? It seems to me that nobody cares and the only thing can now make a progress are things-in-itselves like buddycloud because they don't need to listen and wait to everybody and they can just build they own protocols. Don't you want to talk over this problem first? Do you have similar fears?
