Perhaps what we ought to do is put a recommendation in PEP about

I think private storage is not PEP but some other profile of
pubsub, which perhaps has some features in common with PEP (e.g.,
filtered notifications) but not others (e.g., unlike PEP the
default access model is whitelist with the whitelist empty since
only the owner needs to have access, and multiple items are allowed
since we care about storage rather than pure eventing). Perhaps
this can be handled by the previous suggestion of "+private" on the
end of the NodeID (I'm still a bit leery about that since pubsub
nodes in general are not supposed to have semantic meaning, but
XEP-0060 does say that such meaning is OK for particular
applications of pubsub). I am in the midst of clarifying the
relationship between pubsub and PEP, so hopefully that will help us
understand which features can be re-used and which features need to
be newly defined in order to create the new private node
functionality.
I'm suggesting that the single-item-ness of a node is orthogonal from
its private-ness. For example, I might only ever want to publish a
single geoloc, even though that's not private.
