If you are not famiiliar with XMPP; XMPP (previously Jabber) is a
messaging system with open standards. XMPP is extensible via XEP.

I will discuss about XEP-0060: Publish-Subscribe.

Almost a couple of decades ago, a discussion2 arose about
incorporating Atom (RFC 4287) with XMPP PubSub, which is really easy
because both are XML data.

One of the major benefits of utilizing PubSub is native Push
Notifications (yes, that technique was much before HTML5) which do not
require HTTP pulling.

That would be a great feature to have photon to utilize XMPP PubSub
natively!

See a proof of concept3 I have made to parse PubSub nodes as Atom
Syndication Format.

Further more, I have made an HTTP gateway (Rivista XJP) which returns
XMPP PubSub nodes as Atom Syndication Format
