<section1 topic='Introduction' anchor='intro'>
<p>This specification provides a mechanism to atomically publish
items to a PubSub node depending on the item ID of the node's latest
item. This allows to prevent race conditions and avoids data
loss in certain situations.</p>
</section1>
<section1 topic='Discoverying Support' anchor='disco'>
<p>If an entity supports the Compared-And-Publish feature it MUST
advertise the fact by returning a &lt;feature/&gt; with the 'var'
attribute set to 'urn:xmpp:pubsub:cap:0' in response to a &xep0030;
query for information.</p>
</section1>
<section1 topic='Compare-And-Publish PubSub Items' anchor='cap'>
<p>In order to atomically compare-and-publish an item, a client
sends an &IQ; with a 'pubsub' element qualified by the
'urn:xmpp:pubsub:cap:0' namespace. The element MUST contain the same
attributes and elements as the &lt;publish/&gt; element defined in
&xep0060; <em>and</em> it MUST contain a previd attribute containing
an item ID.</p>
<p>The PubSub service MUST only publish the item if the node's
latest item ID is equal to the ID found in the 'previd'
attribute.</p>

To be, or not to be: that is the question:
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles,
And by opposing end them?

<section2 topic='Successfully published an item using Compare-And-Publish'>
<p>If the 'previd' matched the latest item's ID and if the service
was able to successfully process the request then the protocol
continues as defined in <cite>XEP-0060 7.1.2</cite>.</p>
</section2>
<section2 topic='Could not publish because newest item ID did not match'>
<p>In case the Compare-And-Publish operation failed because the
latest node id is not the same as given in the 'previd' attribute
in the request, the server returns an &IQ; result with 'pubsub'
element qualified by the 'urn:xmpp:pubsub:cap:0' namespace which
contains a &lt;compare-and-publish-failed/&gt; element. The
element MUST have a 'id' attribute with the ID of the lastest
item.</p>
