For XEP-0060, has any thought been given to allowing the same node IDs to be reused (for collection or leaf nodes) as long as they are held within different collection nodes? It might make for a more flexible and attractive expansion of a hierarchy, if one did not need to rely on ugly auto-generated node IDs nor forced a user to come up with unique names.

Changing the node for a user (e.g., prepending the collection name to the node to be created, after checking whether the user attempted to use any characters needed by the prefix) would be too cumbersome for deep hierarchies, and Pubsub currently does not allow changing of the node name by the service (or returning the new name upon a create node request) anyways.
