Re: ldp + swat0

SWAT0 is a terrible use-case for this discussion, since it's intended 
specifically for federation between sites.

I'd really recommend sticking with the requirements that were devised 
with the client-to-server API in mind, so you don't confuse yourselves.

Also: PLEASE take a look at the Open Social Activity Streams API. We can 
get most of what we need by using Activity Streams 2.0 documents as 
commands -- "post a photo", "post a comment", "like this photo". 
Relatively few endpoints and a lot of flexibility.

I did a nice diagram showing an API with OpenSocial Activity Streams as 
the base:

It might be helpful to aid in your thinking.

If you'd like to start sketching out a social API following these 
principles, let's connect on IRC.
