Hi, XEP-0060 specifies Field Standardization for publish-options with only one field (pubsub#access_model“): http://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0060.html#registrar-formtypes-publish (16.4.5). However, XEP-0222 and XEP-0223 uses more fields for the

So you essentially want occupants to be informed about affiliation changes of users not in the room. Correct. Specifically I want occupants to be informed if a normal entity (i.e. non-member) becomes a member. But this is probably also considered an affiliation change from none to member.

Hi, I was reading through XEP-0149: Time Periods and saw, that it allows for multiple payloads in a PubSub item, i.e. an activity and a headers element. How is this compatible with 7.1.3.5 Bad Payload (If the item/ element contains more than one payload element, ...) of XEP-0060 PubSub?

I believe that the idea is to not treat the headers as payload. But it probably can cause incompatibility for servers that don't know about shim, so probably it would be really nicer to put it inside payload. The problem I am having is that I implemented the item element with a *single*
