Section 6.1. Subscriber Sends Subscription Request of PubSubHubbub
Core 0.3 states, "Where repeated keywords are used, their order
indicates the subscriber's order of preference." In my mind
"preference" is ambiguous with respect to repeated parameters. For
example, with "hub.mode" repeated as first "sync" then "async",
"preference" implies a one or the other and not both relationship.
However, this relationship doesn't make sense for the keyword
"hub.topic" which would be better suited to an all relationship.

Is it the intention of the specification to allow subscribers to
subscribe to multiple topics with a single request?

Elric,

It may not be obvious with the current layout, but I think this note only applies to "hub.verify", as it doesn't make much sense for other params.

Thanks,
