https://github.com/jasnell/w3c-socialwg-activitystreams/issues/54 There were some additional properties added speculatively to the AS2 vocabulary earlier on it's it's dev cycle that are proving less than generally useful. There's also a couple carry overs from AS1 that ought to be deprecated. 1. The valid* properties. These were intended to offer a date-based validity bound for an Object's metadata. While useful, these can easily be provided as an extension where necessary. They are not generally useful for all objects and have a questionable processing model since we do not define exactly what "validity" means. These just just be removed. 2. The status property on Activity. This was one was added earlier in the AS2 dev cycle (pre-WG) and was always very speculative and has proven less than useful. This one should just be removed. 3. The existing "author" property on objects. This is a carryover from AS1. Not all objects have authors and there's a confusing overlap between "actor" and "author". This one should be deprecated but still allowed. - James
