Well, another option (for PEP only, not generic pubsub) is to wrap the
payload format (as we often do for x:data), for example:

<blog xmlns='http://jabber.org/protocol/blogging'>
  ... Atom content here ...
</blog>

<news xmlns='http://jabber.org/protocol/news'>
  ... Atom content here ...
</news>

Etc.
