How will MEP / XEP-0316 handle unstable fullJIDs? - Standards

19 Jun 2026

Just had a read of XEP-0316: MUC Eventing Protocol, and it seems 
interesting and useful, but I'm wondering what happens to the MEP nodes 
owned by a particular occupant. The XEP states...

...
  An occupant does so by sending a publish-subscribe
publish request to the occupant's Occupant JID <room@service/nick> (similar to
the way in which publishing via PEP happens by sending a request to the user's bare
JID <user@host>). For instance, the following example shows how a room occupant
would inform the other occupants about an event of interest. 
which would mean that interested parties would be subscribing to 
room@service/nick for their MEP nodes, but this could change from the 
user leaving or changing their nick. Is it just meant to be a sort of 
temporary live thing where you can ad-hoc send these events and then 
they just go away when you leave? or could this be attached to something 
more stable, like Occupant-ID.

Thanks all!
