[Standards-JIG] Re: UPDATED: JEP-0163 (Personal Eventing via Pubsub)

Great work!  The client developer in me really likes this
simplification.

Some comments, shooting from hip:

Section 12, "Recommended defaults": "delete-items", "get-affiliations"
and "purge-items" should be "retract-items", "retrieve-affiliations"
and "purge-nodes", to match features in section 10 of JEP-0060.

What about "retrieve-subscriptions"?  Should the service include
implicit subscriptions in the result?  (section 8.7 of JEP-0060)

Through directed presence, one resource of Romeo could show different
presence status and different capabilities to various resources of
Juliet.  Does the PEP service need to take this into account, handling
every corner case?  (more specifically: I'm not yet sure how to
implement this in ejabberd; doing everything correctly might end up
very simple, but it would be nice to have a retreat point if it
doesn't - the complexity might not be worth it)

Section 13.1, "Cancelling subscriptions": should the service send
notifications even to those implicitly subscribed?  And for another
section, should it send notifications when those entities are
implicitly subscribed in the first place?  Or more specifically: would
it be bad to treat implicit and explicit subscriptions different in
this respect?
