[i18n-activity] 'Actor' and language/direction

aphillips has just created a new issue for 
https://github.com/w3c/i18n-activity:

== 'Actor' and language/direction ==
https://w3c-social.github.io/activitypub/#actor-objects

The 'Actor' object contains several fields that can contain natural 
language text. It would be useful to indicate in the spec how to add 
language and direction information to these. Specifically, `name`, 
`preferredUsername`, and `summary`.

The first two (name and preferredUsername) might be questionable: 
these are opaque Unicode strings that might be considered language 
independent. The summary, though, is more interesting. Language and 
base direction should be documented, even if only to refer to JSON-LD 
mechanisms and/or the bidi text in ActivityStreams 2.0.
