Excuse me but I don't follow you at all...

As far as I know, people who have me in their rosters choose under which 
name I appear, not me ; so obviously they don't really need to be 
notified of the changes (but the server will still notify to all their 
active resources about it).

When I'm in a room, then I get to choose my nickname. But when I change 
it, others are notified about it...

Finally, if I want to tell others which song I'm hearing, or have an 
avatar, etc... Isn't pubsub used for that?

That thread confuses me -- just when I thought I was beginning to "get 
it" :-/
