So something like this:

<iq type='set' id='foo'>
   <priv xmlns='urn:xmpp:private'
         node='storage:bookmarks'>
     <storage>
       <url name='Complete Works of Shakespeare'
            url='http://the-tech.mit.edu/Shakespeare/'/>
     </storage>
   </priv>
</iq>

<iq type='get' id='bar'>
   <priv xmlns='urn:xmpp:private'
         node='storage:bookmarks'/>
</iq>

Sure. Though how do I know what my nodes are? Do I disco myself on login?

Would all private nodes be pubsub nodes (i.e., nodes from which you 
could receive notifications)? Or is notification an add-on?

I foresee the need for a spec that says exactly what nodes are. :)
