As I understand it, you subscribe the queue's endpoint facet (something 
like ../rabbithub/endpoint/q/some_queue_name) to the exchange's 
subscription facet (something like /rabbithub/subscribe/x/some_queue_name).

In other words, you POST to the latter, with hub.callback set to the 
former and hub.mode "subscribe" (and hub.topic as the binding key), as 
in 
http://pubsubhubbub.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/pubsubhubbub-core-0.2.html#anchor5

RabbitHub is smart enough to recognise that the URLs are an exchange and 
a queue that it controls, and will create a normal AMQP binding.  You 
can subscribe exchanges and queues in other combinations, but it won't 
correspond to an AMQP binding -- in these cases RabbitHub will make 
Other Arrangements.
