Hi Guus, While I agree that the reference to collections, root and leaf nodes should be removed or moved away, node discovery is certainly useful in general use-case and should be part of XEP-0060 IMO. The mechanism itself is a usual disco#items query, the section mostly explain how to interpret the result, so it doesn't really complexify the protocol. Discovering nodes is useful (and used) to discovers things such as blogs, XEP-0346 forms and other pubsub-based features. Best, Goffi
