[Standards] Jabber (PEP) for social network?

[Adam Nemeth]

Hmm, this isn't a really neutral-federation kind of solution :) But I
think you mean if you have a jabber session (and not the credentials
itself, see gtalk gadget, or digest authentication in wildfire, or,
windows /kerberos authentication in SoapBox if I remember well of
features), which will be needed anyway.

Probably the root of the question is that could a pubsub service (or a
pep service) use a 'roster' or 'group' access policy if it's outside
the domain?

Or should every communication provider capable of this feature install
a PEP-component, and then using caps for events?
