Why not just configure the node to allow open subscription? Does your server not
allow this??

Yeah, the should be. The Jabber Registrar should "register" those in conjunction
with the FORM_TYPE of http://jabber.org/protocol/pubsub. This allows you to
build this functionality into your client and have those field variable names
enver change.

I see this is not explicitly spelled out in section 11 of the JEP as it should
be.
