You did good, things need to move on this feature.
Yeah that's not a problem, no need to use Shakespearian characters all the
time, many XEPs don't.
Most clients do because it's necessary to use things such as OMEMO, modern
bookmarks or VCard, etc. No need for a full XEP-0060 implementation.

Oh, I can change that. I
just happen to be extremely
Shakespeare-illiterate and didn't want it to show too much. > My other concern is technical, I have the feeling

I am probably biased because of the clients I am using, but it seems to
me that generic adhoc command support is more widespread than generic
pubsub support. I suspect this is because XEP-0060 is huge and scary,
which is something I specifically did not want this XEP to be. Maybe we could add pubsub's mechanisms for
creation/deletion too? Did
you have XEP-0248 (PubSub Collection Nodes) in mind too?
I'm thinking about vanilla pubsub, the same mechanism as used now, just on
pubsub nodes, that gives out of the box subscriptions and permissions
management.
Pubsub Colleciton has nearly no implementation, and has some issues. I've
actually proposed an alternative with XEP-0496 "Pubsub Node Relationships" and
following XEPs, but it's too young and there is not yet implementations. I
think vanilla pubsub is enough for the moment, this can still be used later if
the need arises.
Note that this is just a suggestion. Your specification has been accepted
anyway.
Anyway thanks a lot for the feedback!
Thanks for your specification and work in general :)
