Activity Streams Extended Vocabulary

Per the recent discussions around the definition of a common, minimal
set of social vocabulary verb and object types, I've started going
through and sketching out an extended AS2 vocabulary that incorporates
the verbs and object types that tend to be most common across social
systems. I've documented things on the wiki here:
https://www.w3.org/wiki/Activity_Streams/Expanded_Vocabulary#Potential_Actions_attached_to_objects

It's a work in progress. There are a broad range of use cases
documented with examples. The vocabulary is designed to give
implementers a minimal level of interoperability without going
overboard on vocabulary definition and without forcing implementers to
rely on external vocabularies. Every class is justified with a use
case documented on that wiki page. Use of external vocabularies such
as vcard, ical or schema.org would still easily be possible.

Again, this is still a work in progress but it seems to be heading the
right direction.

Please review carefully
