<section1 topic='Introduction' anchor='intro'>
<p>
&xep0060; nodes are commonly used by XMPP users to subscribe to news feeds. This document describe a way, for them, to share some of the nodes to which they have subscribed with other users.
</p>
<p>
The list of &xep0060; subcribed nodes is stored on a classic &xep0163; node qualified by the 'urn:xmpp:subscription' namespace. If an entity wishes to make pubsub subscriptions publicly available then the entity MAY publish them on this node. The entity SHOULD ensure that this information is kept up to date.
</p>
</section1>
<section1 topic='Protocol' anchor='protocol'>
<p>Information about the subscribed node is provided by the user client. The subscription container is defined as a classic &subscription; element with theses specific constraints :</p>
<table caption='attributes'>

<section2 topic="Item ID generation method">
<p>The aim of this XEP is to handle a list of subscriptions. To simplify the managment of this list the ID of the &xep0060; items MUST be generated according to the following method :</p>
<ol>
<li>Initialize an empty string S</li>
<li>Append the name of the server, followed by the '&lt;' character</li>
<li>Append the name of the node, followed by the '&lt;' character</li>
<li>Append the jid of the current account</li>
<li>Compute the ID by hashing the S string using the SHA1 algorythm</li>
</ol>
<section3 topic="Generation Example">
<ol>
<li>S = ''</li>
<li>S = 'pubsub.montague.lit&lt;'</li>
<li>S = 'pubsub.montague.lit&lt;party'</li>
<li>id = de6c6772ff43d9a604ea78e51ce28b63ab8692eb</li>
