Re: Priority of Constituencies proposal

Out of interest - what exactly is the "Minimal Activity Stream", in 
relation to AS2? (other than minimal, obviously ;))

Just wondering since there is little in the page as a foreword 
explanation as to "why".

Also, the "Priority of Constituencies" is very common sense to me, 
something I would imagine people would just keep in mind normally. If 
the WG gets really stuck then maybe it would be a good idea, but doesn't 
seem that stuck to me? AFAICT, unless the minimal stream is changing 
things somehow, AS2 with JSON is the strongest contender as a 
recommendation. I might be wrong, not following all the discussion or 
being in the calls. I realize the "MUST" vote failed, but then in 
reality this WG is building a recommendation anyway. The question is - 
how *many* overlapping recommendations. A spec should only recommend one 
thing, not several "overlapping" things.
