Agreed, I think.

My argument is that this doesn't matter, at least at this point. I'm a
big fan of use-case-driven development, and at the moment I'm not
aware of a single example of, for example, two RSS / Atom feeds
linking to each-other [as metadata].  Linkages between PubSub Items is
trivial and well understood, but I'm not even sure what linkages
between PubSub nodes would *mean*.

Web APIs work fine at the moment, and discovery is driven by
documentation, not high engineering solutions.
