Re: Update from Social WG call yesterday

Hi Lloyd,

Thanks for making sure the IG is aware.
The problem isn't so much that there isn't a clear use case for Actions as 
much as that none has been documented. Tantek argued that the WG shouldn't 
promote a spec without documented the use cases it addresses which I think 
is a fair criticism. So, it would be very helpful if the IG could document 
some. It may be that there already some out there somewhere we can just 
point to.

Regards.
