We shouldn't lose track of our extensibility here, either.  There's  
nothing that says that a XEP-118 publish couldn't have other  
information embedded in it, in another namespace:

<iq type='set'
     from='stpeter at jabber.org/14793c64-0f94-11dc-9430-000bcd821bfb'
     id='tunes123'>
   <pubsub xmlns='http://jabber.org/protocol/pubsub'>
     <publish node='http://jabber.org/protocol/tune'>
       <item>
         <tune xmlns='http://jabber.org/protocol/tune'>
...
           <technical xmlns='urn:xmpp:tune;technical'>
             <codec>BLAH</codec>
             <bitrate>192</bitrate>
           </technical>
         </tune>
       </item>
     </publish>
   </pubsub>
</iq>

So there's no need to redefine the spec every time we come up with  
more information we want to be included.
