Yes. Having worked with the specs and real-world implementations for a bit now (to interop with) I notice there’s a significant gap between what one would expect when only reading the specs, and what is actually working on the ground. Look no further than the @context declaration at the actor URL that Mastodon declares. E.g. at "curl '-HAccept: application/activity+json' https://social.coop/users/J12t”

It would be very useful of the standards could learn from why implementors thought they had to extend them (and not implement other parts) and perhaps in the medium term evolve the standards in the corresponding direction.

Cheers,
