Hello:

In reviewing some of the new Action types, I noticed the use of the word
"antagonym" popped up frequently to describe the relationship to another
action that causes the reverse result.

For example:

http://schema.org/AcceptAction says the related action RejectAction is "The
antagonym of AcceptAction."

However, an antagonym is a single word that has meanings that contradict
each other. The only case where I think this might possibly be valid is for
CancelAction...

I believe "antonym" was likely the intended term, but would recommend
that the plainer English "opposite" be used instead, as plain English
is generally preferable for technical documentation.

Thanks,
Dan
