I think the AS vocabulary is pretty nicely paired down now, and is mostly in line with the kind of common activities you see on Facebook, YouTube, and other major social media sites. Is there that much more to do? I think a few properties may be able to be removed, and then we can just leave it alone until we hit candidate recommendation, or discuss it off-call between James and the various implementers. The real goal at this point should be, what do we have to do to get AS2 to CR? Let's focus on that. (After all, as has been repeated many times, it's not that these things can't be tweaked after CR.)
