Hi,

Thanks for the answers. I'm fine for the 3071 limitation, so we can set it both 
for the Pubsub nodes id and Pubsub items it?
If yes I'm ok to do a PR on the 0060 to specify that. I'm also wondering if 
there is a specific way of declaring such string
limitations, are you aware of any other XEPs that specify such things?

Regards,

Timothée
