[jdev] Fine permissions tuning for PubSub

[Sergey Dobrov]

Hello,

I am fine with a possibility to tune permissions per item but there are
some nuances. For example, what if user posts an item to a foreign node
(i.e. node where the user is not an owner). It will be strange to
restrict an access for such item.

I think we should not insert an item configuration form in the <item>
but in <publish>.

On the other hand, I think that it is time to invent new XEP to allow to
implement such protocols as PEP or "Private XML storage" as separate
components. It will facilitate migration from server to server and will
increase speed of implementing new technologies.
