[Standards-JIG] XEP-0163: PEP updates

[Peter Saint-Andre]

Ever since XEP-0163 was advanced to Draft in September, I've had the 
lurking suspicion that something was not quite right. The problem is the 
"hardcoding" of namespaces to NodeIDs (i.e., a one-to-one relationship 
between the two). Last week I got a chance to talk about the problem at 
length with Ian Paterson, as a result of which I came up with an 
alternate approach that specifies a one to many relationship between 
payload types and NodeIDs (and optionally a middle layer for wrapper 
namespaces, with a one to many relationship between data format 
namespaces such as Atom or x:data and wrapper namespaces). My proposed 
changes are here:

http://www.jabberstudio.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/cvs/xmpp/extensions/xep-0163.xml?r1=1.2&r2=1.4

Feedback is welcome as always.

Peter
