Open Github Issues

We have had a number of open github issues. I recommend closing the following:

#52 - "New media type or application/ld+json plus profile" -
https://github.com/jasnell/w3c-socialwg-activitystreams/issues/52

  This one has been around for a while. There was a concern brought up
about the creation of the application/activity+json media type and
whether or not AS2 should use the application/ld+json media type with
a profile parameter. The concern is that use of the
application/activity+json media type could harm interoperability.

  In my opinion, the concern is largely theoretical and is not backed
by real implementation experience. There is nothing to be gained by
switching to using the application/ld+json media type. Nor is there
anything "broken" about using the "application/activity+json".

#157 - "Vocabulary item for "Blog" type" -
https://github.com/jasnell/w3c-socialwg-activitystreams/issues/157

  In my opinion, this is unnecessary.

#175 - "Should we have a type for the object of an "Offer" activity?
" - https://github.com/jasnell/w3c-socialwg-activitystreams/issues/175

  In my opinion, this is unnecessary.

#205 - "Object partOf Collection" -
https://github.com/jasnell/w3c-socialwg-activitystreams/issues/205

  Question raised over whether we need a reverse property on objects
to indicate which collection(s) they are members of. In my opinion
this is unnecessary.

#208 - "owl:Class vs. rdf:Property (for verbs and roles)" -
https://github.com/jasnell/w3c-socialwg-activitystreams/issues/208

  Raises a concern over the fundamental design of verbs in AS2. This
requests revisiting a design decision that was made early within the
design of AS2 without presenting any new information. I see little
value in rehashing the prior conversation and selected design.
