I think we need to allow automatic node creation for any access model 
(not just "presence"). As Remko pointed out, this will make it much 
easier for clients to take advantage of private data storage with 
notifications to all connected resources (using the "whitelist" model 
with no entires in the list).

 From my post to the list:
One way might be to definine a new 'access_model' attribute for the 
<publish/> element? If the node already exists then the pubsub server 
would simply ignore the attribute:

<iq from='juliet at capulet.com/balcony' type='set' id='create-bookmarks'>
  <pubsub xmlns='http://jabber.org/protocol/pubsub'>
    <publish node='http://jabber.org/protocol/prefs'
             access_model='whitelist'>
      <item>
        <storage xmlns='storage:bookmarks'>
          <url name='Complete Works of Shakespeare'
               url='http://the-tech.mit.edu/Shakespeare/'/>
        </storage>
      </item>
    </publish>
  </pubsub>
</iq>
