[Social] auto-discovery of pubsub nodes

[Peter Saint-Andre]

At the XMPP Summit in Brussels a few weeks ago, Ralph Meijer brought up
the idea of auto-discoving pubsub nodes via a <link/> in the head of a
web page. We're thinking along the following lines...

(1) For a standard pubsub node:

<link rel='alternate' href='xmpp:pubsub.domain.tld?;node=foo'/>

(2) For a PEP node:

<link rel='alternate' href='xmpp:user at domain.tld?;node=foo'/>

The idea is that you would send a service discovery request to the node
in order to find out more detailed information, then if desired send a
pubsub subscription request if you want to receive notifications.

Thoughts?

Peter
