Yes, it does know what to do with pubsub messages: ignore them, unless
they publish to a namespace that is known how to display it in the UI
(tunes, mood, avatar). Adding support for new namespaces easy; knowing
how to display this namespace, however, is not. Personally, I have
always thought that reading RSS feeds/blog posts in an IM client is
like forcing a round peg through a square hole. No matter how much I
like my IM client, there are much better tools for doing this. But
many people disagree.
I agree with you that reading feeds/blog posts have clearly better
tools, but that's not the only use case for Atom-over-pubsub.
I see Atom as a better medium than plain messages to transport
notifications in general. A good example would be Nagios notifications.
Besides, if everybody starts publishing blog updates to a pubsub
node, maybe we can stop this non-sense of pooling feeds once and for
all.
