I might have been influenced by the whole PEP discussion... but... after 
reading this short XEP, I couldn't help imagining how this information can be 
published via PEP. A server-managed PEP-node, where clients willing to 
discover such could subscribe be notified.

The thought came while noticing the bare simplicity of the XEP, thinking of 
many situations when similar XEPs can be/are designed just to describe how 
servers offer some information (which can change over time) to users. 

Well, at the same time, we should be aware that over-engineering doesn't help 
much.
