This seems OK. Then there can be two ways to include a "passive" reference to a file using si:
1) using an URI as in xlink:href='xmpp:mats at home.se/coci?sipub=pub0123'
2) using a child sipub element as described in the XEP

A was studying
XEP-0137: Publishing Stream Initiation Requests 
a bit more careful and it comes pretty close to what I want. 
Perhaps the XMPP URI could be added here or in another document as well.

The conventional way is to use the same tag name as the last part of the xmlns.
They already have used this for the offer so perhaps it could be an idea to have start/starting tags.
In any case a single tag should be necessary for this since it is clear from the context iq-set vs. iq-result
what the action is. Compare the query tag.

Not sure I get you here.
In my previous post I had:
<iq type='result' to='mari at mus.se/work' id='3210'>
  <sipub xmlns='http://jabber.org/protocol/sipub' 
         id='pub0123' 
         sid='3c803c10-6983032b'/>
</iq> 

where the last id attribute is superfluous. It can instead read:
<iq type='result' to='mari at mus.se/work' id='3210'>
  <sipub xmlns='http://jabber.org/protocol/sipub' 
         sid='3c803c10-6983032b'/>
</iq> 

And the question of the sipub tag I leave open for the moment.
